Norwegian term or phrase: spenningsaggregat
It appears on a list. Is it "power generator"?
valhalla55
power generator
Explanation:
In a shipbuilding context, I suspect power generator is perfectly acceptable - more so than the source term, where strømaggregat might well have been appropriate. As you can't very well generate one without the other (electrical power vs. voltage), you should be safe with power generator.
