see below Explanation: check for quality of (see below) and overheating Vérification=check,checking, verification; tenue=control, running, upkeep, quality etc. echauffement=overheating di=etomol. Gr. twice, two, double connecting it with another word it means sometimes also "through/by" élèctrique=electrical Unfortunately I could not find those two words together in any of my dictionaries. I thought of power surge, ground fault protection etc., because double could poss. mean two wires/1 grounded/ 1 hot, but nothing whatsoever checked out. Maybe someone else can be of more help.

see below Explanation: Verification of the dielectric quality and overheating. I kept coming back to this one thinking its not really my specialty and someone else would give you a good answer. If you put the previous two answers together and add Terminum's definition of dieletric, it gives you something like this. Termium has six references to diéléctrique. The one closest to your context is: DOMAINE(S) Électrostatique Matériaux diélectriques (Électronique) FR diélectrique*d*CORRECT, MASC, NORMALISÉ isolant*e*VOIR FICHE, MASC DEF*substance dont la propriété électrique fondamentale est d'être polarisable par un champ électrique.*d OBS*diélectrique: normalisé par la CEI.*c OBS*Dans un sens large, "diélectrique" et "isolant" sont synonymes puisque ces termes s'appliquent à une même entité. Cependant, ils évoquent des aspects différents de cette entité, donc il serait imprudent de les employer l'un pour l'autre dans certains contextes scientifiques ou techniques.*c I hope this is a help.

Confirmation of dielectric strength and resistance to overheating Explanation: You could also say "determination of .....". FYI, folks, "dielectric strength" is the maximum electrical potential that a material can withstand without rupture. Usually specified in terms of volts per millimeter of thickness, it's one of the standard parameters for circuit-breakers (whose purpose, of course, is to pop when conditions exceed certain designated values). ((It's easier, I guess, when you've worked in the field...)) |
