Bornes de tensão seccionáveis e de corrente curto-circuitáveis

19:45 Mar 2, 2011
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Medium voltage switchboard
Portuguese term or phrase: Bornes de tensão seccionáveis e de corrente curto-circuitáveis
This comes from a list of construction characteristics of the modular cells used in a medium voltage switchboard for a wind farm installation. The full context is as follows, but is unlikely to shed much more light on it:

Bornes de tensão seccionáveis e de corrente curto-circuitáveis, conforme aplicável.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

disagree  coolbrowne: Por onde começar? A "explicação" meramente repete a tentativa de resposta, na qual "boxes" não corresponde a "bornes" e a segunda parte ("and of short-circuitable current") simplesmente não é inglês.

  -> boxes é SIM a melhor tradução para BORNES. Verifique em qquer dicionário técnico, sobre o final, se não é inglês, o que poderia ser?
