This term has a very specific technical meaning in FR, but despite lengthy research, I have never quite managed to come up with an EN equivalent that I felt happy with; you can research 'en coupure' and find diagrams that explain it in FR, but I've never yet discovered the equivalent diagrams in EN. Basically, it is to do with the way [component A] is connected into the [rest of the system] — as far as I can see, there appear to be 3 main ways this may be done, from memory: 'en antenne': several elements converge at a central point (like a 'star') 'en piquage': one element is 'tapped off' another (like a T) 'en coupure': seems to refer to when a line etc. is 'looped' into and out of something. I think the distinction being made is something to do with where the isolating devices are located, and hence how the line etc. can be disconnected or not from the rest. Sorry to be so un-technical about a subject I know quite a lot about, but as I've said above, my research didn't really come up with any convincing answers! |
