French term or phrase: inverseur de charge de marche automatique
This is part of a description of hot air blowers. I had "automatic phase reverser" but I am not sure it is the appropriate term!

automatic power inverter


Explanation:
or "power inverter with auto-start"


I think this is it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_inverter

A power inverter, or inverter, is an electrical power converter that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).[1] The input voltage, output voltage, and frequency are dependent on design.

disagree  Tony M: That kind of inverter is something quite different, and is called an 'onduleur' in FR. / Oh yes, I am 100% sure this is wrong! This is my field of expertise.

  -> Your own answer demonstrates that you cannot possibly be so sure of that Tony. In my experience, chest-beaters are more likely to be wrong than people who regularly question themselves.

inverseur de charge / de marche automatique
automatic load / rotation reverser


Explanation:
Normally, an 'inverseur de marche' would be a reverser to change the (usually) rotational direction some device turns in.

I can imagine that an 'inverseur de charge' could be a 'load reverser', though I'm not quite sure why (on an AC system at least!) a load would need reversing; be that as it may, I can only imagine these as 2 separate things, hence why I have added the / above.

As ever, a great deal more of the wider context might make things clearer...

I suppose it is possible that 'charge' could have the meaning of 'loading', but surely if you reverse loading... you are unloading?! Can't quite see how that could work here...

disagree  GILOU: Pas histoire de rotation mais de charge.....

  -> We don't have enough context for you to be so categoric about it; I have often seen 'inverseur de marche' for a device that reverses the operation direction; with 3-phase electricity, this is very often the rotational direction.
