: Hallo Andy, hier ist nicht die Wattleistung, sondern die Stromstärke gemeint, z.B. bei einer Starkstromanwendung.

much higher electrical current
Mit Leistung ist hier nicht die Stromleistung (Watt), sondern die Stromstärke (Ampere) gemeint. Das Relais kann z.B. über einen recht schwachen Steuerstrom (control current) andere Bauteile steuern, die mit Starkstrom betrieben werden, z.B. einen Laser oder die Bildröhre in einem Monitor.
Viele Grüße

(electrical) power
größere elektrische Leistung zu steuern = to drive a higher electric(al) power. There is no other correct alternative in terms of scientific translation.
However, of course if you increase the current the power will also increase !

: In this case, I would use control for steuern because a relay just turns it on or off, it does not provide anything more

Hope this helps.

: That would be an amplifier. A relay does nothing else but turn something on or off. By itself it is not an active component.

You are quite right, I think - having reread the German, I would replace the word "generate" with the word "control"
