Mat_Young ASKER 07:41 Oct 18, 2007  No se recomienda manipular el inversor cuando circule corriente por el mismo. Es lo típico de los manuales y creo que es el sentido aquí. ¡Gracias a todos! trnet 22:16 Oct 17, 2007  Sorry fellows, one last comment. If someone asked me "please don´t touch the machine while under power".. If I assume it is just connected, it may well be running and viceversa. Bajo tensión does not especify either situation, not specific enough. trnet 22:11 Oct 17, 2007  La frase "under power" es solo explícita para indicar que el sistema está conectado al suministro eléctrico, pero no es nada explícita para indicar si está SOLO enchufado o tambien circulando la corriente por todo o si algún circuito está cerrado/abierto. Juan Jacob Mexico 21:43 Oct 17, 2007  Exacto. Cualquier aparato o maquína eléctrica que esté "conectado" a la corriente eléctrica está "under power", "bajo tensión", y puede, o no, estar encendido. Estamos de acuerdo. Mat_Young ASKER 20:44 Oct 17, 2007  No lo he dicho, pero "bajo tensión" era mi opción. Creo que es más preciso que "en marcha" o "en funcionamiento", porque porque esté circulando la corriente en el sistema no quiere decir que esté activado o trabajando. Creo que me quedaré con esta versión, ya que se confirman mis sospechas. Automatic update in 00:

Grading comment ¡Gracias!
Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer) neutral  Adriana Penco: Gracias, Juan, no me había dado cuenta. 3 mins   -> No hay problema. Under power es bajo tensión, no "encendido" o "conectado". Eso sería "on", efectivamente. Ligero matiz, de acuerdo, pero así es. Un aparato puede estar bajo tensión (conectado a la electricidad), pero no encendido. Digo. Saludos. agree  Raúl Casanova 21 mins   -> Gracias. disagree  trnet: Tensión es algo ambiguo. En este contexto "bajo tensión" implica para mi que el sistema está siendo sometido a cierta tensión pero no necesariamente eléctrica. Under Power puede significar cualquiera de las dos opciones, no solo una. Saludos. 34 mins   -> En total disagrí contigo. Saludos. agree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Me parece que si estamos hablando de inversores, no hay posible confusión con otras "tensiones". No estoy de acuerdo con el disagree que se ha dado aquí. 1 hr   -> Muchas gracias. Es tensión eléctrica, estamos de acuerdo.

3 hrs   confidence:

dispone de suministro eléctrico normal Explanation: Lo que entiendo es que el inversor no debe estar conectado (o sea suministrando energía al sistema o carga), si el sistema dispone de suministro de la red eléctrica externa. El inversor se utiliza en este caso para proveer energía CA si no hay suministro eléctrico externo.
