Spanish term or phrase: disparo por proteccion del generador

la oracion es un subtítulo

El texto habla de un switch que no se abrió activando el dispositivo de protección del generador, mi duda es si disparo se refiere a activacion, o a algo más,

Aqui está el texto "se produjo la apertura del interruptor 1, quedando 3 unidades trabajando en vació. El interruptor 2 no abrió, y se disparo la protección de la unidad No. 12, y las unidades Nos. 10 y 11 quedaron en línea y en paralelo

Francamente no entiendo casi nada, ojalá puedan ayudarme

Mil gracias

triggered the generator's/power plant's circuit breaker

Explanation:
Or more in keeping with the translation rather than the question:

...and the circuit breaker of unit 12 was triggered.

or

"...and unit 12's circuit breaker was triggered"

A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit.

First, the SEC adopted a “Circuit Breaker” that will trigger the application of the Modified Uptick Rule once the price of a stock has declined by 10 percent.

When the first circuit breaker is triggered, the circuit breaker will be expanded. JPY1,000 (the initial circuit breaker) + JPY1,000 (expansion of the circuit breaker) = JPY2,000. When the 2nd circuit breaker is triggered, JPY2,000 (from the 1st expanded circuit breaker trigger) + JPY1,000 (expansion of the circuit breaker) = JPY3,000 will be the circuit breaker.
