agree  GILLES MEUNIER: mis en arrêt automatique du groupe auxiliaire. Il est possible qu'en cas de défaillance, un dispositif de ce type est activé...
7 hrs
disagree  Drmanu49: le terme off n'est pas traduit par automatique !
7 hrs
neutral  Tony M: "goes off by itself" suggests more 'tout seul', and probably therefore 'by accident'

neutral  Tony M: I wouldn't say 'se déconnecte' for what appears to be simply 'turns / goes off'; your last comment seems to have got a bit scrambled somehow?
31 mins
  -> Yep! se désarme.
disagree  GILLES MEUNIER: de façon inopinée implique un imprévu, ce qui n'est pas le sens de by itself....
10 hrs
  -> Tu veux rire ? C'est bien de l'imprévu ! Just a word to the asker to say you should not take into account Gille's disagree, he has decided to give all the disagrees he can for personal reasons.
