Параллельные тексты EN-RU

Installation standards require upstream protection.
[LS Industrial Systems]

Стандарты требуют, чтобы электроустановки имели защиту со стороны источника питания.
[Перевод Интент]

The MCCBs downstream cannot handle this maximum fault current and rely on the opening of the upstream breaker for protection.
[LS Industrial Systems]

Автоматические выключатели < в литом корпусе>, расположенные со стороны нагрузки, не рассчитаны на такой максимальный ток короткого замыкания и защитное отключение цепи производится автоматическим выключателем, расположенным со стороны источника питания.
[Перевод Интент]

It must be equal to the cross-section of the installation’s upstream cables.
[LS Industrial Systems]

Сечение жил должно быть равно сечению жил кабелей электроустановки, расположенных со стороны источника питания.
[Перевод Интент]

The optimum arrangement of this system can be organized with upstream breaker's electronic trip unit which can perform short time delay setting.
[LS Industrial Systems]

Лучше всего данному требованию удовлетворяет система, в которой расположенный со стороны источника питания автоматический выключатель оснащен электронным расцепителем с кратковременной задержкой срабатывания.
[Перевод Интент]

At the instant of closing a switch to energize a capacitor, the current is limited only by the impedance of the network upstream of the capacitor, so that high peak values of current will occur for a brief period, rapidly falling to normal operating values.
[LS Industrial Systems]

В момент включения конденсатора ток ограничивается только полным сопротивлением участка цепи, расположенного со стороны источника питания. Ток принимает максимальное значение только в течение очень короткого времени, а затем быстро уменьшается до обычного рабочего значения.
[Перевод Интент]

This is an economical approach to the use of circuit breakers, whereby only the main ( upstream) breaker has adequate interrupting capacity for the maximum available fault current.
[LS Industrial Systems]

Данное решение обеспечивает наиболее экономичный способ применения автоматических выключателей, поскольку только главный автоматический выключатель ( расположенный со стороны источника питания) должен иметь отключающую способность, соответствующую максимально возможному току короткого замыкания.
