French term or phrase: état ouvert non passant
Au démarrage de la machine, les enroule-ments du stator sont court-circuités par l'ensemble 4 (contacteur 4a à l'état ouvert non passant et contacteur 4b à l'état fermé passant). Les enroulements du rotor sont alimentés en tension par le réseau 8 au travers du convertisseur 2.

Explanation:
seems like état ouvert non passant" is a superfluous explanation for people not familiar with electrical terms. When something electrical (switch, contactor, etc.) is open - it does not conduct (does not pass power or current) and conversely - when closed - it passes current & power. It is somewhat confusing in comparison with fluids - when a valve or a tap or a faucet (robinet) is open - it passes fluid and when closed - it does not.
If you really feel that the extra explanation is needed, add "non conducting".

(EN) The invention concerns a bistable nematic liquid crystal display device comprising: aligning means, which ensure the orientation of the liquid crystal, means designed for applying electric signals enabling to switch by anchor rupture on at least two substrates, between two separate textures and means for promoting, in the liquid crystal covering the inter-electrode spaces, the installation of that among said textures providing off-state.
