panel switch Explanation: More context would have helped. What sort of boat is it, for example? There are lots of "tableaux" on a boat, among which are the following possibilities : - tableau de bord (instrument panel) - tableau de charge (charging panel) - tableau de commande (control panel) - tableau de contrôle ( board, panel - tableau de feux de route (navigating lights board) - tableau électrique (switchboard) - tableau principal ( main switchboard) Given the order of words "interrupteur tableau", your term suggests the switch for a panel, rather than a panel of switches ; thus not a switchboard but rather a panel switch Dico Technique Maritime, La Maison du Dictionnaire, Clouet., A., 2000, (ISBN : 2-85608-086-3) Professional experience |
