Dutch term or phrase: meldcontact
'Transiënte overspanningen zijn wat hun ontstaan aangaat eveneens onvermijdelijk.
Zij moeten met de installatie van een overspanningsbeveiliging worden bestreden. Der-
gelijke beveiligingen bestaan uit varistors en gasgevulde overspanningsafleiders, deels
gecombineerd. Zij worden aan de laagspanningszijde voor het te beveiligen elektrische
component geïnstalleerd. Eigen smeltpatronen met meldcontact zorgen ervoor dat een
opgetreden defect direct wordt herkend.'

Explanation:
Een meldinrichting is an electronic installation, the purpose of which is to signal or announce some condition - (d.w.z. een installatie om iets te melden of signaleren). Seems to fit your context well.
