French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / testing rock-fall barriers
French term or phrase: Erélle
I think this term is an abbreviation for something in kJ (kiloJoules). It is used in a table of results from a test on a cable braking system measuring among other things the energy-absorbing capacity of the brake unit.
