direct acting trip device Explanation: Here's an idea ... and some interesting reading -- page 1 under 'Momentary Duty" This goes on to discuss 'instantaneous breaker trip' ... but hey, I'm a lawyer not an electrician. Hope this helps -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 44 mins (2018-06-10 23:59:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's the link https://www.wbdg.org/FFC/DOD/STC/twewg_tp7.pdf |

13 hrs confidence:
instant trip device Explanation: The Swedish word "moment" can mean both moment and torque, but in this case, from the surrounding text, I interpret it to mean 'a moment in time'. I therefore subscribe to Dean G's second suggestion but to modify it to one of "instant trip/tripping device", "instant breaker" or "instant breaker device". |
