peer agreement (net): +1parasurtenseur / parafoudre Explanation: Normally, from the function described, this would be a 'parafoudre' — 'lighting arrestor'; however, the fact that the source text does not express it literally in sch a way means you might want to play it safe and avoid any risk of over-interpretation. 'transorb' is of course 'transient-absorbing' (I've a feeling that might even be a proprietary name? But possibly being used generically here anyway?) — which is basically what your 'parasurtenseur' is. |
