disengage the power

16:53 Dec 21, 2009 

a system cannot take off the plug :) but there is this idea of disconnection/interruption
"System" may refer to "disjoncteur" ? In this case, "le disjoncteur s'enclenche/se déclenche" but "disconnect" is one of the synonyms of "disengage"

Did you mean pull off the plug? Not found in the context. The context refers to monitoring of arcing and subsequent disconnection triggered by controls.

n'est pas une bonne traduction pour "disengage". Couper means to break, to switch off, to interrupt, etc. Disengage means to release.

Voir:
EN diverter switch
a switching device used in conjunction with a tap selector to carry, make and break currents in circuits which have already been selected
FR commutateur
dispositif de coupure utilisé conjointement avec un sélecteur de prises pour conduire, établir et couper les courants dans les circuits qui ont été établis à l'avance

EN switched current
the prospective current to be broken during switching operation by each set of main switching or transition contacts incorporated in the diverter switch or selector switch
FR courant commuté
courant qu'il est prévu de couper durant une commutation par chaque jeu de contacts principaux de coupure ou de contacts de passage du commutateur ou du sélecteur en charge

déclencher, verbe transitif
Sens 1 Amorcer, mettre en marche. Synonyme lancer Anglais (appareil) to start, (mécanisme) to activate, (sonnerie) to set off, (grève) to trigger off.
I have seen "déclencher" used for stopping/cutting off/disengage too - but surely it's a dangerous translation?

Disengage
Verb
1. Release from something that holds fast. connects, or entangles; "I want to disengage myself from his influence"; "disengage the gears".
2. Free or remove obstruction from.
3. Become free; as of gears, for example
:
French déclencher (disconnect, to disengage the clutch), débrayer (disconnect, to disengage the clutch).
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/disenga...

If the editor was aware what he wrote, I must accept that he did not describe any switching action, but some tripping or release mechanism, which controls the switchgear.
The translation of disengage is déclencher.
