In Europe, more than one pantographe is fitted to some locos or emus to cope with different OHLE systems. For example, in France, which has both 1.5kV DC and 25kV 50 Hz AC, most locos have one pantographe optimised for high intensities under 1.5kV, and one pantographe built to withstand high voltage (25kV).
