Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / mechanizm napędu wyłączników
English term or phrase: latch
Jest to jeden z elementów mechanizmu: OPEN/CLOSE/Zero trip voltage latch. Wyraz nie pojawia się w prawie żadnym kontekście, jedynie przy opisie rysunków. Pojawiła się propozycja tłumaczenia jako "cewka", ale wtedy zdanie "Lubricate latch (1) and latch (2) (Fig. E) using grease L after 2.000 operations." traci większy sens. W innych dokumentach pojawia się np. "closing latch with coil" - str. 29: http://tinyurl.com/kc7cgwy .

przerzutnik bistabilny


Explanation:
The term "latch" is sometimes used instead of "flip flop." A flip-flop in electronics is translated into Polish as "przerzutnik bistabilny".

On second thought, maybe "zapadka" would be more appropriate if it's a mechanism that has nothing to do with electronics.

latch-in relay [′lach‚in ′rē‚lā]
(electricity)
A relay that maintains its contacts in the last position assumed, even without coil energization.
Would it be this one?

You could also look up the article on "Relay" in Wikipedia. There is a section on latching relays with photos of the relays.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Definitely not, it's not a digital part of a circuit... It's a mechanical element comprising a coil and some movable parts.

Asker: @Mariusz, there is also a "catch"... I wonder if I could translate it literally, as "zatrzask" - on the other hand, in similar papers those elements are called "wyzwalacz"/"release", but still I'm not sure if it is the same thing.

Asker: Hmm, as I remeber, a latching relay is a relay that can keep it state (when it's energized and contacts are shorted, they remain in that state after de-energizing). Here we have some kind of electromechanical device comprising a coil - after energizing the coil mechanical catch is actuated, leading to change of the circuit breaker's state...
