"Electrical leak trace resistance" and "Anti-squelch interference capacitor"

[Jaderoad]

Hello,

I am a translator translating a standards document from Chinese.

There are electricity-related sections in this document which contain a couple of terms for which I have not found an adequate translation.

These two terms translate literally as "electrical leak trace resistance" and "anti-squelch interference capacitor"/"anti-suppression interference capacitor".

Examples of phrases in which these terms occur are:

"Fire, heat and electrical leak trace resistance";

"Machines that can continuously output above 15W power for more than 5 seconds and that use anti-squelch interference capacitors between wire and ground must have measures adopted to prevent anti-squelch interference capacitors from catching fire"

If there is anyone who can see what these phrases refer to in actual English, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Well, this is a different type of question?

Chinese version of the Doc Browns Flux Capacitor,

Sorry haven't a clue what it means

Has this been bought direct from china or through a UK distributer...

If the former then good luck...it probably won't comply to EU regs anyway.
If the latter then they are required to supply you with a comprehensible translation of the user and installation guides so discuss with them unless you have a chinese mate who could give possible alternative meanings.

Hello,

These two terms translate literally as "electrical leak trace resistance" I think this might be better stated as 'Insulation Resistance. but it would be better if you can give the entire sentence or few sentences.


and "anti-squelch interference capacitor"/"anti-suppression interference capacitor". Squelch is a term often used with radios to describe the level of underlying noise in a signal that's caused by the carrier. Again it would be better if you can give the entire sentence or paragraph.

Examples of phrases in which these terms occur are:

"Fire, heat and electrical leak trace resistance"; Might be referring to 'earth leakage' or 'insulation resistance'

"Machines that can continuously output above 15W power for more than 5 seconds and that use between wire and ground must have measures adopted to prevent anti-squelch interference capacitors from catching fire" Could be referring to surge protection or power factor correction maybe.

If there is anyone who can see what these phrases refer to in actual English, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

Please see red additions.

Rough guess

Anti squelch capacitor = the suppressor capacitor fitted to small universal motors.

I said a very rough guess.

 

[telectrix]

agree there tony. RFI capacitor. was common on TV's of the 70's for the cap to short out and explode, as it was connected directly across L-N,

 

[Lucien Nunes]

Yes I think "anti-squelch interference capacitor"/"anti-suppression interference capacitor" should read "radio interference suppression capacitor" or "power line filter capacitor". The term "squelch" is not relevant and has probably come from faulty machine translation.

The other term is much less clear and I agree that we need more info before making a decision.

In telecommunications, squelch is a circuit function that acts to suppress the audio (or video) output of a receiver in the absence of a sufficiently strong desired input signal. Squelch is widely used in two-way radios to suppress the annoying sound of channel noise when the radio is not receiving a transmission.

Sorry I can't help whatsoever. But this post made me think of this on the side of our fridge:

Bloody technology...

It doesn’t really matter what it is. The OP’s been and gone.

As usual……….

Thanks very much for all the sensible and humorous suggestions. On a language forum, "comparative tracking index" was suggested for "electrical leak trace resistance" but I'll still flag them both to the client.

You'd get better help if you can paste the whole text instead of just the one or two lines and also the section heading etc. Context is everything when it comes to accurate translation.
