GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Electrical safety
Spanish term or phrase: flecha
From a set of regulations on electrical safety from Colombia. The section in question sets safe distances (distancias de seguridad) for various conditions. Then comes:

"Nota: Para tensiones línea - tierra que superen 98 kV, las distancias de la Tabla 16 se podrán aumentar o el campo eléctrico disminuir, considerando que el vehículo o equipo más grande esperado bajo la línea fuera conectado a tierra para limitar a 5 mA rms la corriente de estado estacionario debida a los efectos electrostáticos. Para calcular esta condición los conductores deben estar desenergizados y la *** flecha *** a 50ºC."

What kind of "flecha" is this, used in calculations and at 50ºC?

vector, arrow


Explanation:
This is just a wild guess: the flecha could refer to a vector or an indication on a diagram, in which case the best translation would be ARROW.
