French term or phrase: désaccord d’un circuit bouchon

Yet another plea for help with this electricity terminology! Thanks in advance!
Section heading: Indisponibilite du reseau d'evacuation
Paragraph: "Les interruptions correspondantes ne seront pas comptabilisees dans les indisponibilites du reseau d'evacuation. Elles ne seront pas comptabilisees en indisponibilite de production, sauf s'il est prouve que le declenchement provient de l'installation du producteur. A titre d'exemple, un desaccord d'un circuit bouchon donnant lieu a un declenchement de l'installation du producteur, constitue un cas de prise en compte de l'indisponibilite." My translation reads: "The corresponding interruptions shall not be counted as evacuation network outage. Nor shall they be counted as generation outage, except where the trip is proved to be triggered by the producer’s facility. For example, the misalignment of a carrier-current line trap giving rise to the tripping of the producer’s facility constitutes a case of outage.” Does this last bit make sense? Thank you! Dominic

English translation:incorrectly tuned line trap

Explanation:
It is not clear to me from context if the line trap becomes untuned or detuned or was never correctly tuned in the first place. "incorrectly tuned" gets around this, though "detuned" or "mis/untuned" might be appropriate if the context makes it clear either of these is meant.
