Finnish term or phrase: ottaa maihin
Lauseessa "...jossakin johdossa tai liittimessä on kosketushäikkää tai jokin johto ottaa maihin tärinässä..." en tajua tuota verbiä "ottaa maihin". Voisiko joku asiantuntija selittää moisen?

Toinen esimerkki: "Onko se hangannut jostain ja ottaa maihin. Se on varmaankin automaattisulake siellä joka katkoo ..."

grounding out
Explanation:
Tämä tarkoittaa siis sitä, että sähköjohdin koskee maadoitukseen (yleensä auton tai laitteen metallirunkoon) ja täten aiheuttaa oikosulun.

touches the ground


Explanation:
eli virtajohto koskettaa maajohtoa tms.
"Onko se hangannut jostain ja ottaa maihin" -> johdon suojus rikkoutunut hankauksessa ja pääsee siis lyhytsulkuun maan kanssa.
