Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: "hat ausgelöst"
context: operating manual for a vacuum dryer

Vorgehensweise bei auftretenden Störungen:
1) Motorschutzschalter der Vakuumpumpe hat ausgelöst
Die Vakuumpumpe wird ausgeschaltet, der Motorschutzschalter muß manuell eingeschaltet werden, Störung quittieren am Bediengerät. Tritt diese Störung mehrmals hintereinander auf, so ist die Vakuumpumpe zu überprüfen
2) Motorschutzschalter der Infrarotheizung hat ausgelöst:
Die Infrarotheizung wird ausgeschaltet, der Motorschutzschalter muß manuell eingeschaltet werden, Störung quittieren am Bediengerät. Tritt diese Störung mehrmals hintereinander auf, so ist die Infrarotheizung zu überprüfen

Is it OK to say simply that the motor protection switch triggered or should it be 'was triggered' or even something else entirely?

has triggered...


Explanation:
I think 'has triggered' works here, since it's evidently a troubleshooting list of the kind you see in instruction manuals ;) So what's happened? The motor protection switch has triggered....

HTH.
