peer agreement (net): +1| les raccordements BT par gaine à barres LV bar connections... Explanation: BT = basse tension = low-voltage, but if this is in relation to the power industry, you can probably say LV OK. [Note that LV can mean various different voltages according to application, but in the case of a step-up/down transfo., almost always refers to the lower-voltage side --- often in fact refers to the 'normal' 240 V or whatever 'mains'] barres refers to rigid bar connections (used because of the high current requirements, but prone to mechanical problems). In certain contexts, it can also be 'busbar' (variant: 'bussbar'), but I think that is less applicable here. I'm not quite sure about that 'par gaine' --- I would have expected 'gainés' = sleeved, but I can only guess that this means some kind of rigid sleeving fitted round the bars, instead of the more usual conduit often used for flexibel cables. I hope that helps, and if you come across any more context as you go along, do post it and we'll see if that makes any difference. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2005-04-25 10:39:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just one of many Googles, looks as if it might be useufl: Softbitonline - HT / LT Distribution, Power Transformer Design... ... HT distribution transformer and power transformers using transformer design ... both round conductor and strip size, no. of parallel LV conductors, ... www.softbitonline.com/transformerContents.html Note use of \'strip\' here for a certain type of bar conductors; you\'d have to look into it a bit more thoroughly in conjunction with your context to know which term is more appropriate --- it all depends a bit on the exact dimensions... |
