Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / CHP
German term or phrase: Mittelspannungsleistungsfeld
Context:

"Leistungsumfang
...
Mittelspannungsleistungsfeld"

This is in a call for tenders for a CHP power plant, in a list of items not covered by the tender but to be provided by the customer on site. I'm puzzled as to what exactly "leistungsfeld" is in this context. None of the ordinary usages (range of services, power range etc.) yseems to make much or any sense.


* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Call for tenders
* Target audience: Engineering company
* Country and dialect (source): German
* Country and dialect (target): American English

MV power section
Explanation:
As defined with the Reference, the bay contains switchgears, disconnectors, busbars, measuring devices and accessories.

This is called power section by Eaton/Möller

Just in time for the Hannover trade fair, Eaton's Moeller Business present three more convincing and "intrinsic values" in their xEnergy switchgear system for up to 4000 amps: The new ACB circuit breaker IZM 20 for the power section, the new load disconnector equipped with fuses for the outgoing section and the innovative plug-in technology for a significant reduction of the time and effort of assembly.
Pünktlich zur Hannover Messe wartet Eatons Geschäftsfeld Moeller bei seinem Schaltanlagensystem xEnergy bis 4000A mit drei weiteren überzeugenden inneren Werten auf: Erstens mit dem neuen ACB Leistungsschalter IZM 20 für das Leistungsfeld, zweitens mit einem neuen Lasttrennschalter mit Sicherungen für das Abgangsfeld und drittens mit einer innovativen Steckeinsatztechnik, die den Montageaufwand [...]

The fuel cell's power section then combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce water and electricity. A converter changes the direct current output from the power section into alternating current prior to it being fed into the local power grid.

Power section provided with a fixed 4000A, 3 pole, air circuit breaker, to connect the generator to the load. This air
circuit breaker is equipped with a motordrive for charging, spring release coil and undervoltage trip coil. Overcurrent
protection is offered via the power organizer which is part of the generator set control panel.
A solid copper bus bar system is used and engineered for a fault rating of 50kA / 1 sec.
Busbar entry for utility connection shall be at the bottom of the panel. Generator connection is from top.

By the way, I checked also the term "power bay" in connection with "CHP", but no relevant hit found under the first 100.
And "switchgear" alone is not correct, as the bay (or section) comprises more devices.

MV circuit breaker bay


Explanation:
This composite term ist rare enough, even unique. I think they want to express that the bay has to contain a circuit breaker. Medium Voltage abbreviated to shorten the term in EN.

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: don't rely so heavily on sites like linguee, leo...
25 mins
  -> But rely on former switchgear designers, like me and on well known manufacturers!

neutral  Colin Newberry: just a side remark. cilian's right. linguee can produce the most *** ideas. and don't assume i'm NOT an engineer "taking" to another engineer for chrissake. don't exaggerate the bloody thing. we're only warning against too much linguee and not against you
9 hrs
  -> You are taking to an engineer, who was responsible for switchgear design, and does not need to rely only on dictionaries, but on experience. If terms I know come up by searching the Internet, I regard this as confirmation.

disagree  Cilian O'Tuama: The sources quoted are so often not trustworthy, and the "English" so often dodgy. Don't believe everything you read. If everyone were that gullible...

  -> Sorry, but I designed such devices and I know that the German source is quite right. Note: the only english text (I doubt on it) comes from KudoZ and not from me.
