English term
earth path
English to French
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
In contrast to the TN-S system there is no metallic path from the consumer's terminals back to the sub-station transformer secondary windings. Because the earth path may be of high resistance, a residual current circuit-breaker (R.C.C.B.) is often fitted so that if a fault current flows in the earth path then a trip disconnects the phase supply.

: It's not really quite that; is there no other word for 'path' here? It's actually the route via the Earth. / OK, fair enough! What about 'chemin de fuite', that's used OK isn't it?

"chemin" occurs, but only in suspect translated material Never heard it used. And "circuit" means "path" in this case.

: Sorry, Florence, but this isn't really a 'dispositif' here; note it is really referring to the path back to the substation via the actual Earth. We do talk about 'chemin de fuite', don't we? Could it be 'chemin...' here?
