Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Manual for a forklift

English term or phrase: short to ground

Could you please help me with the translation of the words 'short to ground' which are taken from a technical manual for a forklift. It's hard to provide you with context because the words appear in a table under the diagnostic fault codes like this: "Injector 4 open or short to ground"

Kortsluttet til jord

Explanation:
Du kan også bruge 'kortsluttet til stel', for det er faktisk det, der sker i denne fejldiagnose. Jeg har oversatte dette bogstavelig talt hundredvis af gange på gravemaskiner, teleskoplæssere og lignende. (du har muligvis også 'short to battery' i samme liste - kortsluttet til batteri).

Jamen, jamen, jamen :). Selvfølgelig skal det være kortsluttet til stel i dette tilfælde. Jeg ved ikke, hvorfor jeg nævnte jord. De andres forklaringer dækker det. Og jeg har selv rettet masser af gange, når der stod 'jord' fra tidligere oversættere. Lidt underligt at de engelsktalende ikke skelner mellem stel og jord....
