Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
English term or phrase: trip off
The relaying and protection requirements are different based on the mode of operation of the mini-grid, as described below.
Generation equipment contributes to circuit fault currents and need to be tripped off or isolated first.

Merci encore pour votre précieuse aide

Explanation:
Les générateurs doivent être disconectés du circuit. En général, pour cela, on utilise le disjoncteur spécifique à chaque groupe d'équipements.

neutral  Tony M: That is indeed what needs to happen — but here, they are discussing the specific methods for doing so. 'Ont besoin de...' is rather too literal here and sits uncomfortably in FR, where an impersonal expression would probably be more appropriate.

Explanation:
"drip off" is no normal speech. Normally it means "="drop off faire égoutter, couler", but here it means obviously "interrupter, déconnecter, sectionner".

Note – A switch may be capable of making but not breaking short-circuit currents.

fr interrupteur (mécanique) m
appareil mécanique de connexion capable d'établir, de supporter et d'interrompre des courants dans les conditions normales du circuit y compris éventuellement les conditions spécifiées de surcharge en service, ainsi que de supporter pendant une durée spécifiée des courants dans des conditions anormales spécifiées du circuit telles que celles du court-circuit
Note – Un interrupteur peut être capable d'établir des courants de court-circuit mais n'est pas capable de les couper.

There are different possibilities for paraphrasing the 2nd sentence:

Les générateurs de courant apportent aux (augmentent les) courants de défaut des circuits et doivent être déclenchés (coupé, interrompus, sectionné, mises hors tension) ou isolés (séparés, déconnectés) en priorité (d’abord).

neutral  Tony M: You have missed the point of the S/T — it is talking about 2 different ways of achiving this isolation, either by using a specific isolator, or by simply tripping out the circuit-breaker provided. The latter is the aspect required here.

Reference: trip off

Reference information:
What is an Overload?
When in its normal operation a circuit has carried a little too much flow a little too long, so that the wires will be getting too hot to be safe, the breaker will trip off. This is called an overload -- you were trying to run a bit too much at once on that circuit. http://www.thecircuitdetective.com/glossary.php
