English term or phrase: fly back voltage
measure of the fly back voltage of injectors
Patrick Courbin
Local time: 10:06
tension de retour
Explanation:
This kind of 'flyback' refers to the voltage pulse produced by the inductance of the injector coil when the current is interrupted. It is analagous to the 'flyback voltage' produced at the end of the horizontal scan in a CRT TV, when the scanning spot returns to its starting point at the end of the horizontal scan.

I don't know for sure if the TV term 'retour' is applied to car electronics as well, but it seems likely, though I found very few Google hits for this term, so maybe I'm missing something somewhere!

One thing I AM fairly sure of, is that this is a VOLTAGE, and as such, I would expect it to involve 'tension' in some way.

Althiough this article doesn't seem to give the actual FR term needed, you may well find it helpful background reading about the subject:

neutral  Tony M: i don't quite see how you get from that EN definition to this FR term? / GDT is not the Bible, and the term quoted is the wrong context here.
13 mins
  -> And what would be the right translation from a technical stand point?
disagree  Mohamed Mehenoun: see http:\\www.granddictionnaire.com for fly back (see the comment I added to Tony ...there is a difference between the voltaga and the power part ) have a nice day :)

tension par retour-ligne


Explanation:
Allez sur la page:
http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/fr/wo.jsp?wo=2004112226

qui contient deux version l'une française l'autre anglaise.

"to a flyback voltage detected from the first primary winding of the power supply transformer. "

"afin de commander un transistor de commutation en réaction à une tension par retour-ligne détectée dans le premier enroulement de primaire du transformateur d'alimentation."

ou bien "tension de retour" tout simplement :) comme l'a indiqué Tony

agree  Tony M: Tho' I'm not sure if it's necessary to add '-ligne', since that makes it 'LINE flyback', which is appropriate in TV but NOT automobile / have to say I'm also slightly unsure about 'par', I'd have expected 'de'...?

  -> thanks ..I'm not sure either now that you mention it :$
