Mark Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 HI All As you may well know my workshop jimmy has a Swiss body on the back and there are a few words that I am not familier with, so if one of you nice lot over the channel can have a look below and see if you can interpret the meanings I will be much obliged. (some are obvious) and bearing in mind thay are from an electrical panel in the truck. Many thanks.

TooTallMike Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Guys, I've already translated the whole lot. Each phrase is in German then French underneath. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear! ie. STECKDOSE 380v = PRISE EXTERIEURE 380v = exterior 380V socket etc. - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G506 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm sure you're all already aware of this, but if in doubt try http://www.babelfish.com, they provide instantaneous free of charge translations for small sections of text G506 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Unfortunately I suspect that "Trafo" is one of those ubiquitous German contractions like Gestapo, Schupo, Kripo, but I am damned if I can figure out what it's short for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Unfortunately I suspect that "Trafo" is one of those ubiquitous German contractions like Gestapo, Schupo, Kripo, but I am damned if I can figure out what it's short for. Trafo is a transformer (transformator in Dutch). Like with modeltrains, makes 220 Volts into lower voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
