multi-voltage en · ADJ
Etymology
From multi- + voltage.
Meanings
-
(not-comparable) Able to operate on different voltages.
With multi-voltage techniques in their present state of development, the greatest disadvantage resulting from these differences is the impossibility of fast through multiple-unit expresses. Dual-voltage trains work between Amsterdam and Brussels, but many additional problems would arise if they were to run south of Luxembourg.
