In describing the alarm settings on a Downstream Channel Optical Transmitter (Emetteur Optique Voie Descendante), it has the following entries:
Nom // valeur // alarme // Commentaires
Puissance Optique // oui // < puissance nominale –1dB
Courant laser // oui // > 100mA // > 110mA = laser OFF
**Courant pelletier** // oui // < -1A ou > +1A
Température du laser // oui // < 23°C ou > 27°C // < 21°C ou > 29°C = laser OFF
Should this be translated "Pelletier Current"?

: Perfectly correct description of the effect, certainly; but in this context, the translation 'current' is what is required.
