Spanish term

detector de paso de falta

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng Railway technology
This is from a description of an industrial electrical installation:

Las celdas de línea estarán motorizadas y llevarán detector de paso de falta, mientras que las de protección de transformadores (que serán motorizadas) llevarán fusibles cuando la potencia de los transformadores no supere los 630kVA, en cuyo caso serán con interruptores automáticos.

My translation: The line bays will be motor-driven and fitted with fault detectors while the transformer protection bays (also motor-driven) will be fitted with fuses when transformer voltage does not exceed 630 kVA, in which case they will be protected by automatic circuit breakers.

I just wonder if it is necessary to include an equivalent of "de paso". Does it make any difference?

@Asker James: Los KVA son unidades de Potencia/Capacidad (kilo-Volt-Ampere) no son unidades de voltaje/tensión por eso mi sugerencia de cambio
James Arthur Williamson (asker) Jan 29, 2013:
...fitted with fuses provided transformer voltage does not exceed 630 kVA. They will be protected by automatic circuit breakers once said voltage is exceeded.
James Arthur Williamson (asker) Jan 29, 2013:
Thanks JoLuGo, you are right, it could be ambiguous the way it is.

Cambiar when transformer voltage does X
when transformer capacity/power rating does ...
James Arthur Williamson (asker) Jan 29, 2013:
Thank you for the thorough research, Smartranslators. It seems then that "fault passage indicator" is the most widely used term and although it is not the only option it would in fact be the safest.
