Swedish term or phrase: brytande funktion
I've been working with a tender which includes quotes for some thermal sensors, but there is also mention of some devices which have a so-called 'brytande funktion'. A colleague of mine assures me this is a 'cut off function, but as I am not convinced, would anyone be able to help?

Having since spoken with the contractor, he and his colleague mutually agreed that 'circuit-breaking' is the correct term. They also said that Michael's alternative was appropriate where functionality is concerned and in similar contexts. Thanks.

Explanation:
I suggest this one, since it refers to the actual relay functionality, This also makes it possible to handle a temperature sensor with "slutande funktion" i.e. temperature sensor, normally open.
