English term

double circuit-breaker remote magnetic transformer

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering electrical installations
From a works specification. I need to know the Spanish term for "double circuit-breaker remote magnetic transformer". This is a self-explanatory term in English but I can't find the Spanish equivalent.
Proposed translations (Spanish)
5 +1 disyuntor doble magnético a control remoto del transformador.
3 doble interruptor de transformador magnético distante/lejano
4 -1 doble disyuntor de transformador magnético remoto
4 -1 transformador magnético remoto con dos interruptores

@ Niel Ashby Yes, it would be, if it were a translation, but it is not offered as such. It is what is found on websites of companies that sell them. Therefore, it is a pretty good indication of what they are called in the field, i.e. on a work site. As such, it is adequate for my purposes. However, if you can suggest a better one that's the reason we're on here, so please go ahead.
Neil Ashby Mar 28, 2015:
"transformador separador de circuitos" is a poor translation in Spanish.
Jennifer Levey Mar 28, 2015:
@JAW How is any of that relevant to the context of your question, as posted?
James Arthur Williamson (asker) Mar 28, 2015:
@Robin Levey A step-down transformer with primary and secondary windings providing separate output at different voltages for remote consumers. The dual breakers are protection devices.
James Arthur Williamson (asker) Mar 28, 2015:
Some Spanish sources use "transformador separador de circuitos" in similar contexts (e.g. http://www.tecnotrafo.net/productos/transformadores-2/transf... They are step-down transformers that provide current for two circuits, one with low voltage (for lighting, etc.) and another with medium/high voltage for works machinery.
Jennifer Levey Mar 28, 2015:
@Asker You have shot down in flames all three answers offered so far. And so have I :)

But you state in the question: "This is a self-explanatory term in English".

I beg to differ. So, what do you think it means in English?

Only with sight of your own understanding of the ST will I offer a valid translation for the complete expression.

doble interruptor de transformador magnético distante/lejano

el transformador magnético es una máquina de corriente alterna
ser de alta capacidad enque permite variar la función de corriente como el voltage o la intensidad.....
http://www.endesaeduca.com/Endesa_educa/recursos-interactivo...

Su capacida debe er alta para que necesite doble interruptor o está compuesto de dos circuitos separados.
Note from asker:
Gracias lugoben, pero en todo caso sería transformador magnético remoto de/con doble interruptor
Peer comment(s):
agree Alejandro Gonzalez : De acuerdo con 'interruptor'. Saludos

Muchas gracia Alejandro. Saludos
disagree Jennifer Levey : There's no mention of an 'interruptor' in the ST, as quoted.

For your info a circuit breaker is a disyuntor/interruptor. The ST doesn't have to state it in order to use. Common sense.

doble disyuntor de transformador magnético remoto

Note from asker:
Gracias Yaotl, pero en todo caso sería transformador magnético remoto de/con doble disyuntor
Peer comment(s):
disagree Jennifer Levey : 'doble' is wrong, in context. And your 'explanation' is, in every sense of the word, nulo.

neutral slothm : Es el solenoide que cierra y abre el disyuntor magnéticamente.

transformador magnético remoto con dos interruptores

Suerte,
Note from asker:
Gracias Jaime, pero creo que "interruptor" es demasiado genérico. Son disyuntores o seccionadores.
Peer comment(s):
disagree Jennifer Levey : Ni siquera hay UN interruptor - menos aún DOS.

disyuntor doble magnético a control remoto del transformador.

El transformador tiene dos disyuntores.
Los disyuntores son activados a control remoto mediante un campo magnérico.
El control remoto envía una señal de radiofrecuencia que activa el solenoide.
Este tipo de dispositivo se utiliza con altos voltajes.
El solenoide evita la formación de arcos de plasma (picos de tensión).

La acción manual del disyuntor electrcutaría instantáneamente al operario al hacer tierra por el cuerpo (por más botas de goma que se ponga).

Conozco el tema muy bien.
Lamentablemente es así como funciona.

El dispositivo en cuestión es equipo estándar en líneas de alta tensión.

Note from asker:
That's a rather far-fetched explanation.
Peer comment(s):
agree Jennifer Levey : That's probably correct - assuming it fits Asker's un-stated context.
