two high voltage rotary cutters...


Explanation:
Para cortar piedra se necesita potencia. De todos los seccionadores de probetas de piedra, la más rápida y eficiente es la rotatoria con canto diamantado.

Two rotary HV off-load [disconnector] switches


Explanation:
Seccionador:
Aparato de conexión mecánico que provee, en posición de
apertura, una distancia de aislamiento de acuerdo con los
requerimientos especificados.
Nota:
Un seccionador puede abrir o cerrar un circuito cuando se corta o
establece una corriente insignificante.
También es capaz de transportar corrientes bajo condiciones normales en el circuito y transportar durante un tiempo determinado corrientes en condiciones anormales como las de un cortocircuito.

Un dispositivo mecánico de conexión y desconexión
utilizado para cambiar las conexiones de un circuito, o para
aislar un circuito o equipo de la fuente de alimentación.

Nota:
Está diseñado para permitir de manera permanente el paso la corriente de carga y también corrientes anormales debidas a cortocircuitos por tiempos cortos según especificación. Asimismo, debe maniobrarse sin carga o en vacío ya que sólo interrumpe la tensión no pudiendo hacerlo con la corriente.

disconnector
a mechanical switching device which provides, in the open position, an isolating distance in accordance with specified requirements

NOTE – A disconnector is capable of opening and closing a circuit when either negligible current is broken or made, or when no significant change in the voltage across the terminals of each of the poles of the disconnector occurs. It is also capable of carrying currents under normal circuit conditions and carrying for a specified time currents under abnormal conditions such as those of short circuit.

Ah and by the way, "seccionadores" is masculine (in Spanish)
