Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Instructions for work on electrical fittings & panels
Danish term or phrase: L-AUS(Be' om hurtig hjælp! :-) )
Jeg er ved at oversætte en instruktionspræsentation. Det går meget godt bortset fra, at jeg ikke aner hvad emnet er. ;-) Hvad er 'L-AUS'? Jeg har fundet en definition, der lyder 'arbejde under spænding'. Betyder det, at det skal være live/energized kredsløb?

Eksempler:
1) L-AUS regler ved arbejde på tavler og installationer
2) medarbejdere, der skal arbejde på eller nær ved tavleanlæg under spænding skal instrueres i L-AUS-bestemmelserne

Mange mange tak for hjælpen!

Explanation:
L-AUS = "Lavspændings Arbejde Under Spænding", per http://materialeplatform.emu.dk/materialer/public_downloadfi... at page 7-37.
See the links below for the suggested translation. First one pairs L-AUS with "working with live parts" at 633.7. Second link confirms with a Google search that "working with live parts" is the term of art here.

live wires


Explanation:
working on electrical panels or installations with live wires.
"under spænding" means that there is an electrical current present, or as is commonly said, the wire are "live" or "hot". A very dangerous thing to do, but commonly done by qualified electricians who know what not to touch, and how to take precautions; i.e. insulated tools, gloves, long sleeves, standing on a thick rubber mat, etc.
