Picos cada quince minutos Explanation: Creo que esta es la respuesta más adecuada. Cuando se hace referencia al voltaje, o a una potencia determinada, se utiliza el término "pico" en referencia al máximo de intensidad. En este caso sería "un pico de quince minutos" (sería la traducción literal), aunque yo me inclino más por "picos cada quince minutos", puesto que en castellano la periodicidad se expresa por el adverbio de tiempo "cada". Por otra parte, en español (castellano) no se suele decir "cada cuarto de hora" a menos que se trate de algo relacionado con la ingesta de un medicamento. Espero que le sirva de ayuda, y ¡buena suerte! Collins |

See below, Explanation: Eurodicautom does not say "pico", but "punta" (check it up yourself). I'd suggest "puntas de 15 minutos" or "puntas de un cuarto de hora", meaning that's their duration... Reference: http://eurodic.ip.lu/cgi-bin/edicbin/EuroDicWWW.pl |
