Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / residual current monitors | | German term or phrase: anziehen | This is a Powerpoint presentation about a residual current monitor. Not being an electrical expert, I'm not sure what verb to use in English for angezogen here:
Unteren Drehkodierschalter für Empfindlichkeit auf „TEST“ stellen.
Es wird abwechselnd ein Fehlerstrom von 30% und 50% von IΔN simuliert.
Die gelbe und rote LED blinken abwechselnd (1Hz), beide Ausgangsrelais sind dauerhaft **angezogen**.
Somit wird es möglich auch die Funktion nachgeschaltener Aktionen zu prüfen, welche normalerweise nur im Fehlerfall aktiv werden
Many thanks! |
| | | actuate / energise / engage | Explanation:
For the state (as in the text) I would use 'actuated' or 'energised', but 'engaged' is also possible (literally, the armature is 'pulled in'). |

| Grading comment Many thanks Ken; my instinct was to up for the neutral "actuate", but it's good to have confirmation. Sorry for the delay in grading - I've been on holiday and I thought I'd done it before I left - evidently not!
