Spanish term

interruptores de acometida

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation
Thanks for any help. Here is the context.

En las subestaciones de secundario selectivo, la demanda máxima ajustada se calculará suponiendo que el interruptor de acoplamiento está cerrado.

Los interruptores automáticos o manuales de "acoplamiento", tendrán la misma capacidad que los interruptores de acometida y siempre una capacidad continua superior a la mayor demanda de cualquiera de las barras colectoras, pero nunca inferior a la mitad del valor nominal correspondiente a cualquiera de los transformadores, con refrigeración ONAF.

general power switch

Acometida es la parte de la instalación eléctrica que está entre la sub estación y el contador/medidor de consumo del cliente.
Esta llave se encuentra justo antes del contador.
Luego en la caja de distribución se encuentra el "master switch" que controla el resto de los interruptores de los servicios.
Es un dispositivo de seccionamiento macánico.
