English term

switching on high and low voltage

English to French Other Electronics / Elect Eng Electrical
Learn the basics of safely performing switching on high and low voltage electrical systems with this hands-on, practical training course.

Made for both those with electrical experience, and those new to the field, this course will outline the principles behind performing switching on power systems up to and including 15kV, giving you a thorough understanding of the process plus practical experience of actually performing switching operations.

Jennifer Levey Mar 1, 2022:
@Johannes I understood it in the most probable way.
No. You understood it the confused way many non-native English speakers might (mis)understand it - and you got it wrong.
Johannes Gleim Feb 28, 2022:
@ Jennifer You are right, 'switching on' sounds strange. Probably a typing error for 'switching of'. 'switching' comprises switching ON and OFF = commutation.
The phrase 'switching on high and low voltage electrical systems' is therefore ambiguously. I understood it in the most probable way.
Jennifer Levey Feb 28, 2022:
@Johannes We have all the context we need. The only slightly obscure thing in the ST, as quoted, is the juxtaposition of 'switching' followed by 'on' (which suggests 'switching on' = activation/allumer), when in fact 'on' is associated syntactically with 'switching' = commutation.
Johannes Gleim Feb 27, 2022:
@ Asker Le terme demandé ne trouve que deux occurrences sur Internet et n'y est pas expliqué non plus. Pour traduire le terme avec certitude, nous avons besoin de plus de contexte, par exemple comme pour la question "switching on high and low voltage". En tant qu'ingénieur électricien, j'ai donc essayé de le déduire logiquement, mais cela aussi est très difficile.

neutral Johannes Gleim : Checked your reference just now. It refers to "Appareillage de commutation" This is not the answer requested.

Your comment is absurdly off-topic. If you take the 5 seconds it requires to read my answer, you'll discover that I have not suggested that Appareillage de commutation is the answer to the question.

Activer la haute et basse tension

À moduler selon la phrase dans son ensemble...

neutral Jennifer Levey : 'switching' = commutation, ce qui inclut tant l'activation comme la desactivation des circuits. // As explained already by Tony, 'on' goes with 'systems', not with 'switching'.
31 mins
"Switching on" ici par contre
disagree Tony M : Apparently misled by Asker's incorrect parsing — it is 'on ... systems', and it doesn't mean "switching on"

commutation sur les systèmes électriques haute et basse tension (HT/BT)

Le terme demandé est très différent du contexte. Il devrait être correctement libellé comme suit : « switching on on high and low voltage power systems up to and including 15 kV »

Ces termes ne devraient être traduits que dans leur contexte. C'est pourquoi je commence par traduire le contexte :

Il décrit les principes de commutation sur les systèmes électriques haute et basse tension jusqu'à 15 kV inclus.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Jennifer Levey : Your translation is unnecessarily verbose. All your references are in English. You have not provided any worthwhile improvement over a previous answer.//Yes, the IEV is multilingual - so why don't you quote the fr translation to support your answer?

Please read my references meticulously. Electropedia terms are internationally standardized by the International Electrotechnical Committee for all countries. All references contain the relevant translation in the last line!
