Japanese term

起動残

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering Nuclear Eng/Sci Nuclear related translation
I have come across a term 起動残 while translating nuclear related documents. It is about indicator lamps for start, stop etc. for air-conditioner fans in switchgear rooms

The text is as follows
「起動残(橙)」表示灯は再点灯するものの、B安全補機開閉器室空調ファンは再起動しないことを確認した。

Please help me.
Proposed translations (English)
2 startup battery power

Copy-paste of my answer to a different asker The paper in Japanese referred below (Page 79) explains as follows:
"The safety system is designed with such a logic that once the START button on the Safety Monitoring Panel is depressed, a signal that indicates "start command signal ON" or "Start Command Signal Remains" continues ON until the STOP button on the panel is depressed. "
"残" in 起動残 means "Remain".

Are you able to provide any additional context? For instance, are you able to tell if this indicator light is related to the status of the something for the switchgear or for the reactor?

I think the indicator is to show that there is enough battary to start up the motor. Then, it follows that "nevertheless, the fan didnt' restart."
Something went wrong...
