French term or phrase: courant de service
Hi,

"En conditions normales, les circuits électriques à protéger ne voient que le courant de service du transformateur soit, au plus quelques dizaines d'ampères. L'utilisation de fusibles, dont la sensibilité permet d'intervenir dès l’apparition de courants de courants de défauts de valeur allant de cinq à dix fois le courant de service, est donc suffisante."

is this "operating current"?

Thank you

Explanation:
This term is obivously not standardized by IEC, as no entry was found under http://www.electropedia.org/iev/iev.nsf/SearchView?SearchVie... This explains the existence of different translations:

Operating current n ELEC courant de fonctionnement m, courant de service m, ELEC ...

La coupure du circuit ne se fait qu'à 720 VA, car le courant de régime établi de la charge inductive est de 6 A, ce qui correspond au courant de service nominal.
csa.cedes.com
The breaking of the circuit is only 720 VA because the steady state current of the electromagnetic load is 6A, which is the rated operational current.

neutral  Tony M: I would agree with either 'working' or 'operating', but NOT 'operational', which sounds like a bad translation.

  -> Thank you for agreeing to 'working current' and 'operating current' besides other existing translations, e.g. 'rated operational current' (CSA Canada), what corresponds to 'courant de service nominal', all synonymous.
