circuit de rétention automatique Explanation: it could also be translated as "circuit d'auto-rétention" but I prefer the first one. |

circuit autodisjoncteur Explanation: This is certainly an unusual combination. I have only seen "self-retaining" applied to mechanical elements, where it translates by "prisonnier, imperdable (boulon)", "à retenue automatique (latches)" or in medical devices: "autostatique (catheter)". In this context, however, I would opt for "circuit à disjonction automatique" ou "circuit autodisjoncteur". I looked unsuccessfully in Termium, in the GM terminology dBase in the Routledge technical dictionary and on the Net. Hope this helps. |
