English term

high voltage coils

English to French Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
Hi All

Would anyone know how to translate high voltage coils in French please?
Alternative terms for high voltage coils include high tension coils, preformed coils and preformed windings but I can't work out which of these are used in French.

Thanks!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

@ Asker OK, then in the light of that all-important fuller context, 'coil' is being used here very much in the sense of 'winding', in which case, that doubles my confidence that 'enroulement' is what is needed here.
Schtroumpf Sep 27, 2021:
Bonsoir Comment savez-vous que "bobine HT" n'est pas correct, emwpl ? Est-ce une information venue du client peut-être ?
Est-ce que "bobinage" marcherait mieux éventuellement ?
Tony M Sep 27, 2021:
@ Asker As you have been able to see, the issue here is that 'coil' alone is ambiguous, and has sevaral possible translations in FR, the choice of which is mainly dependent on the exact context. Even with the additional context you have provided, it is still not possible to be 100% sure.
'Enroulement' really translates 'winding', and as such, is usually appropriate for a motor or transformer, for example, that uses these.
'Bobine' tends to be the one we use for a stand-alone coil regarded as an electrical or electronic component — though there is quite a lot of overlap!
'Spire' may even be used, when the 'coil' refers in fact to one 'turn' of something that is of the nature of a 'spiral'
And other words may be found, where the 'coil' is regarded from the point of view of its circuit function (as is often the case in FR compared to EN) — so we may find 'self' where the coil acts in some way as a 'choke', and 'inductance' or 'réactance' where this is the kind of function it has — though note that 'réactance' is to be deprecated, since out of context, that could equally apply to a capcitance!

Hi Florence Metzger
'Bobine haute tension' is the translation I provided and it is not correct :(
Here is an example of high voltage coils:

the first picture should be brought up for a Google image search of the correct term.

Hi Johannes Gleim
Here is an excerpt of the text. It is a shame I can not post pictures as they speak better than words sometimes!

All our high voltage coils are manufactured in-house and we offer a full range of resin rich, global VPI and B-Stage cured insulation systems to meet a wide range of industrial applications, power generation and various other specialist applications. With total control over quality, we manufacture stator, armature, field, and rotor coils for all types of motors and generators up to 15kV.
Johannes Gleim Sep 27, 2021:
@ emwpl I miss any context. Can you please add at least one phrase with 'high voltage coils' and the type of application?

fr enroulement haute tension, m
enroulement dont la tension assignée est la plus élevée

Pour plus de clarté il convient d'employer les termes enroulements haute tension (HT en français, HV en anglais), moyenne tension (MT) et basse tension (BT, LV) qui ne prêtent pas à confusion, étant classés en fonction de leur niveau de tension2. Un enroulement supplémentaire est placé dans les transformateurs munis d'un changeur de prises, il est appelé enroulement de réglage.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enroulement_de_transformateur

Équipement de test du facteur de puissance/dissipation et de la capacité (avec source et condensateur de référence intégrés) pour divers appareillages haute tension.
:
Sur les transformateurs de puissance, des mesures sont effectuées sur l'isolation principale entre les enroulements (CHL) et sur l'isolation entre les enroulements et la cuve (CH, CL). Les bornes sont mises en court-circuit et la tension d'essai est appliquée à l'un des enroulements pendant que le courant à travers l'isolation est mesuré sur l'enroulement opposé ou sur la cuve
:
Une source CA est raccordée à chaque phase de l'enroulement haute tension. Pendant la mesure triphasée, les trois phases du côté basse tension sont mises en court-circuit, sans connexion à la borne de neutre si elle est présente.

Les responsables du projet furent surpris d’apprendre que les transformateurs secs résistants au feu et antidéflagrants, traditionnellement employés en moyenne tension (MT), convenaient désormais aussi à la haute tension (HT)
:
Les transformateurs secs et leurs principaux constituants -> 1 se déclinent en plusieurs technologies aux caractéristiques propres : enroulements moulés sous vide, enrobage de résine époxy renforcée de fibre de verre RESIBLOC® et tore ouvert.
:
a – Enroulement primaire (HT)
b – Enroulement secondaire (BT, intérieur)
c – Borne d’enroulement HT (supérieure)

Note from asker:
Thank you so much this looks quite comprehensive !
