Preface to the dictionary on electrical engineering

This dictionary is a guide for reading and translating English, German, French, Dutch and Russian texts on electrical engineering.

Electrotechnical dictionaries that have been produced up to now have included the terminology of both electrical engineering itself and other industries that have separated from it in the course of historical development, namely, telecommunications, electronics, automation and some others. In this book, the greatest place is given to electrical engineering itself , and the other branches mentioned are represented only by basic terms.

Within a small volume - about 8 000 terms are included in the dictionary - the authors sought to reflect the most important terminology that is typical for such topics as circuit theory, electrical and magnetic measurements, production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy and its application in industry and at home. A lot of space is given in the dictionary of high voltage technology, electric machines and apparatus, electric drive, elements of air and cable power lines and their structures.

In selecting English terms, the authors sought to reflect the options used in both the UK and the US, although the task of completely reflecting terminological synonyms of this kind was not raised. Some basic orthographic variants were also taken into account.

The presence of indexes of German, French, Dutch and Russian terms allows, with some additional time, to use this multilingual dictionary as bilingual Russian-German, Dutch-Russian, etc. The authors and both publishers hope that the publication of multilingual dictionaries will contribute to Strengthening and development of international scientific and technical relations.

About using the dictionary on electrical engineering

The leading English terms are located in the dictionary in alphabetical order.

The dictionary entry consists of terms in English, German, French, Dutch and Russian, arranged as a column. The leading English terms are in bold.

For a link from one synonymous English term to another, see see (see). All German, French, Dutch and Russian terms have an indication of the genus and, if necessary, the plural.

In translations, different values ​​are separated by numbers, similar in meaning options - a semicolon, synonymous options - a comma.

To save space, the interchangeable parts of the translation can be enclosed in square brackets, for example: bias winding [bias], which is equivalent to writing: bias winding, bias winding.

The optional part of the term can be enclosed in parentheses for the same purposes, for example: the voltage of the (electric) arc, which is equivalent to writing: the voltage of the electric arc, the arc voltage.

The explanations are enclosed in parentheses and are typed in italic type, for example: breakdown (dielectric).

To translate from German, French, Dutch and Russian, you should use the indexes at the end of the dictionary, in which all terms have an alphanumeric designation corresponding to the designation under the leading English term.
