Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Motor control
French term or phrase: débrocher
This terms appears in the specifications of the electrical system for a gas-processing plant in Algeria. Here is the context:
"3.8 FONCTIONNEMENT DES MOTEURS PROCÉDÉS
Les moteurs Procédés sont normalement commandés depuis la salle de contrôle par les opérateurs
« Procédés ». Pour cela, les commutateurs locaux « Manu-Off-Auto » situés près des moteurs, doivent être en position « Auto » et aucun arrêt d’urgence moteur (cas des aéro-réfrigérants) ne doit être actionné.
En position « Manu », les opérateurs ont la possibilité de démarrer les moteurs localement dans la mesure où l’ ICSS (CMS +SGS) et les relais multifonctions des départs moteurs l’autorisent.
En plus de la possibilité de **débrocher** des départs moteurs, les opérateurs ont la possibilité de cadenasser les commutateurs locaux en position « Off » et/ou les arrêt d’urgence des aéroréfrigérants en position
« Arrêt ». Ces appareils agissent directement en liaison câblée sur les circuits de déclenchement des contacteurs.
Pour les moteurs de puissance supérieure ou égale à 22 kW et pour les aéroréfrigérants, les opérateurs ont la possibilité de lire le courant absorbé des moteurs directement sur les ampèremètres situés sur les boitiers locaux « Manu-Off-Auto ».
This is not an OCR error. I have the original PDF, which clearly reads "débrocher".
I will appreciate all suggestions.

Explanation:
Some high-power industrial systems use 'plug-in' modules ('cellules' > 'cubicles') that can be physically removed; these are often referred to as 'withdrawable', and if that is what is being talked about, then this could be the term you need.
If, however, the 'départ' is a simple cable feed (a bit unlikely), then unplugging it might indeed be all it is!

I think there is nothing in either of our suggestions that is incompatible with the more general notion of sepcifications: it must be possible for the operators to either physically withdraw the control module (thus ensuring that the equipment is positively disconnected) or to 'lockout' the control switches in such a way that the equipment could not be turned on.


There are masses of resources on the 'Net about control units (and other 'cellules') that are 'débrochable', it would probably help you to research some of these.

Thank you. In this case, the module is in fact pulled out.

agree  Johannes Gleim: "unplug or disconnect the motor" is not strange, but mandatory for isolation of the motor from the mains.

  -> Thank you.
agree  John Fossey: disconnecting, not unplugging. These large motors don't have a plug but a disconnector switch.
