15 hrs confidence:
| substation subestación Explanation: Traduzco frecuentemente sobre distribución eléctrica y mis clientes siempre usan "subestación". En la Electropedia, el término es "subestación": http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/display?openform&iev... En las traducciones sobre las normas aplicables (por ejemplo, la IEC 61850) y en los textos de las normas del sector se habla siempre de "subestaciones". Se me escapa el motivo de que tu cliente quiera poner "estación auxiliar". Opino que la respuesta en este caso es informar al cliente de que el término habitual en el sector --y no solo en España, sino también en América Latina-- es "subestación", pero que si ellos desean "estación auxiliar", no tienes problema en usarlo. ¡El cliente manda (aunque a veces esté equivocado)! |

| Reference: Refs. Reference information: Susie: I assume you need to differentiate "subestación" from "estación auxiliar", or perhaps I am off base. Robert has addressed the issue of "subestación" (Wiki link). Diccionario politécnico de las lenguas española e inglesa, Volume 1, page 103 provides "auxiliary station" for "estación auxiliar": https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=ZIU4-UjfzYcC&pg=PA103&l... Another link: "estación auxiliar" refers to a "booster station", which is what I personally would use. b.xls personales.upv.es/lalonso/psismica/b%20anexo.xls by LÁ Alonso Matilla - 2009 35, backup line, cable de sosten de las tenazas-pinzas- en un equipo de perforación. 36, backup post .... 143, baseload power station, central de base,; para proporcionar la carga de base. 144, base ..... 437, booster station, estación auxiliar. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 48 mins (2016-01-24 15:28:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.com.jm/books?id=vl7aLDkpKAwC&pg=PA151&l... estacion auxiliar > booster station. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-01-24 17:13:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I am totally confused. Susie, what language are you translating into? The context is in Spanish, and it would be logical to assume you are translating into English, and if so the language pair should be reversed yet again. Regards. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-01-24 17:57:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Susie: While this document is in English, this explains the function(s) of an electrical substation: http://www.slideshare.net/qwerty25ty/electric-power-substati... (see page 19 under glossary for "substation") to page 23. IMO, a "booster station" is different (and what I am trying to find is information to support the difference between the electrical substation and the booster station). However, perhaps someone more knowledgeable in this field can pitch in and help to clarify! Please help! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2016-01-24 18:06:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Suzie: Merely from an English standpoint (but the issue is you are going into Spanish, so my concern may well be moot), if you translate estación auxiliar (which to me is a "booster station), I think they are different things: For example: Patent US1335541 - Booster system - Google Patents www.google.com/patents/US1335541 On the other hand, if the substations are spaced too far apart, the efficiency of the ... **Booster station D is shown as located between substations A and B while ...** |
