Je pense à "disjoncteur" mais cela ne me parait pas vraiment concenir.

Avez-vous des idées?

Merci

Grading comment

Pour finir il s'agit en fait d'un "disjoncteur". J'ai trouvé un autre exemple dans le début de mon texte et cette fois-ci il s'agissait clairement d'un "circuit breaker": "Install a separate circuit breaker between supply and unit. Provide a power supply disconnect
within sight of the steam generator or one that is capable of being locked in the open position."
Merci à tous.
