1. A rail vehicle, comprising:
on-track undercarriages;
a vehicle frame supported on said on-track undercarriages;
a vehicle superstructure with at least one driver's cabin;
an electric energy store;
a motive drive having an electric motor supplied by means of said electric energy store;
said electric energy store having a tempering by means of a liquid dielectric;
said vehicle superstructure having a compartment with at least one fire protection cabinet and a dielectric tank, said compartment being separate from said driver's cabin, and in said compartment said electric energy store is disposed within said at least one fire protection cabinet with said dielectric tank disposed there above;
a magnetic valve;
a fire-fighting line lockable by said magnetic valve, wherein said dielectric tank is connected to said fire protection cabinet via said fire-fighting line; and
the rail vehicle configured to, in an event of a shut-down of the rail vehicle, compensate for dielectric leakage as a result of a malfunction, with liquid dielectric from said dielectric tank via the fire-fighting line that is opened by the magnetic valve that has become currentless in the event of the shut-down of the rail vehicle.
