Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Exterior rotor motor
German term or phrase: hohe Schalthäufigkeit
This is from a description of an engine's electrical operation. If it helps, the French equivalent is "commandes fréquentes". The sentence is as follows:

Für Bedarfsfälle, bei denen das hohe Schwungmoment des Außenläufwemotors nicht gewünscht wird (hohe Schalthäufigkeit, schneller Hochlaut, unw.), bieten sich unsere Innenläufer motoren an.

Grading comment
I did more research on this particular company and found that the term they use in English is not one of the suggestions given! It is "interruption frequency". Wish I could grade more than one answer, but I'll give this one to Frosty. Thanks to everyone for their expertise!

neutral  Frosty: High duty, or maybe heavy duty cycle/operation, okay - but intermittent? It don`t sound right to me, especially if the French are using `fréquentes´! // Thankyou too!
