English term

drop-out voltage

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Switcher Manual
"Firm drop-out voltage points allow a transfer before an undervoltage affects equipment operation."

I don't get the meaning of "firm drop-out voltage". The device is a switcher that can transfer energy from a primary power source to a secondary one whenever there is a problem with the primary source.

Thank you so much for your help.

Measuring Pick Up & Drop Out Voltage of Relays

One common electrical characteristic that is specified of relays is the pick up and drop out voltage. These values are defined as follows:

Pick up voltage (also defined as pull in voltage, or must operate voltage): As the voltage of a de-energized relay is increased, the value at or below which all contacts must function.

Drop out voltage (also defined as release, or must release voltage): As the voltage on an energized relay is decreased, the value at or above which all contacts must return to their de-energized position.
