reclosing relays (probably part of shedding relays) Explanation: The German equivalent term is "Lastabwurfrelais". The englisch equivalent is "load shedding relays", en Français "relai(s) de délestage" IEV ref 603-04-32 en load shedding the process of deliberately disconnecting preselected loads from a power system in response to an abnormal condition in order to maintain the integrity of the remainder of the system fr délestage (de consommation) m procédé qui consiste à déconnecter volontairement du réseau d'énergie électrique des charges prédéterminées, en réponse à des conditions anormales, de façon à maintenir l'intégrité du reste du réseau de Lastabwurf, m http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... This requires an automatic reclosing equipment Area Power system protection / Automatic control equipment IEV ref 448-16-02 en automatic reclosing equipment automatic reclosing relay (US) automatic equipment which is designed to initiate the reclosing of circuit-breaker(s) after operation of the protection on the associated circuit Note – If the autoreclose open time is of interest it should be mentioned after the expression. Thus the term may be described as high speed, low speed, delayed, as appropriate to the application. Example: Automatic reclosing equipment with an autoreclose open time of 0,5 s. See figure 448-11. fr dispositif automatique de réenclenchement, m réenclencheur, m dispositif automatique destiné à commander le réenclenchement d'un ou de plusieurs disjoncteurs, après fonctionnement de la protection du circuit correspondant Note – Si la durée d'ouverture avant réenclenchement a de l'importance, il convient de la mentionner après le terme. Le terme peut aussi être précisé comme rapide, lent, différé, selon l'application. Exemple: Dispositif automatique de réenclenchement avec une durée d'ouverture avant réenclenchement de 0,5 s. Voir figure 448-11. de Wiedereinschaltautomatik, f Kurzunterbrechungseinrichtung, f http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... A rolling blackout, also referred to as rotational load shedding or feeder rotation, is an intentionally engineered electrical power shutdown where electricity delivery is stopped for non-overlapping periods of time over different parts of the distribution region. Rolling blackouts are a last-resort measure used by an electric utility company to avoid a total blackout of the power system. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_blackout Dans un réseau électrique, le délestage consiste à arrêter volontairement l'approvisionnement d'un ou de plusieurs consommateurs pour rétablir rapidement l'équilibre entre la production et la consommation du réseau. Il s'agit d'une mesure de sauvegarde destinée à éviter les risques d'effondrement en tension ou en fréquence qui pourraient entraîner la coupure de la totalité d'un sous-réseau. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Délestage_électrique As it is unknown whether the equipment in question uses one relays for shedding and reclosing or two, we can translates either "shedding and reclosing relais" or "shedding relays and reclosing relays". As a "shedding relay" will reclose automatically in case of re-established network conditions, the "reclosing" part can be omitted, too. But it is useful to mention it, as this illustrates the function better. Note to the wording: Un relais (orthographe traditionnelle) ou relai (orthographe réformée de 1990) est un système, une organisation ou un réseau qui fait le lien entre deux ou plusieurs agents partageant le même objectif. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relais |

relais de coupure/rétablissement disconnect/reconnect relay Explanation: Now that we have the correct context, as I had initially suspected, the answer proposed (but not posted) by colleague Georgei Scott (to whom entire credit is due!) turns out to be the correct one. From the new context; we learn: 1) What type of meters are involved here 2) That in fact there is only a single relay serving for both functions 3) And what field this is really in. Hence as I had originally stated, this is much more about the context of 'smart' meters that by the presence of this relay offer the possibility of cutting off people's electricity supplies remotely. |
