Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Tranformers | | French term or phrase: interrupteur déviateur du type résistance de passage rapide | I think his is one term:
"interrupteur déviateur du type résistance de passage rapide"
Here is the context:
Changeur de prise en charge
Le Changeur de prise en charge sera basé sur les principes « Dr.
Jansen »comprenant un sélecteur en charge avec commutateur et un **interrupteur déviateur du type résistance de passage rapide.**
The only thing I can come up with is that it is some kind of fast breaker switch.

Is the difference between your French descriptive expression and the English descriptive equivalent due to cultural differences (those who describe a thing by its form, those who describe it by its function, etc.) or because people feel the need to insist on certain of the device's properties, overlooking others?
Maybe the passage rapide property is of particular importance for your writer. Or maybe it's just bla-bla. For Dr Jansen, at any rate, the quick-acting nature of the beast was an important aspect of his patent, it would appear.
