charge (d'un moteur / d'une source d'énergie / d'un tableau électrique)
Looking for help from someone with electrical expertise (and sorry if the answer is all too obvious!): in the list below (equipment/info to be included on an electrical diagram of a ship propulsion system), would the "charge" of these items of equipment be their "load", their "load current"... or something else entirely?
Le synoptique de l’ensemble propulsion/énergie doit indiquer, en mode nominal et en mode dégradé :
-Les moteurs de propulsions et leur charge associée ;
-Les modules entraînés par les moteurs de propulsions et leur charge associée ;
-Les sources d’énergie et leur charge associée ;
-Les tableaux électriques principaux et leur charge associée ;
Thanks,
Hayley

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

load
Note that although it will sometimes (often!) be 'load current', that is not explicit in the source text, and unless you know what units it is going to be displayed in, it would be unwise to tie it down; in any case, 'load' on its own is perfectly fine here. Anything else risks over-interpretation.
