surges under fault conditions
The source text begins with 'SELECCIÓN DE FUSIBLES DE ALTA TENSIÓN', so we're looking at HT fuses.
My reading is:
... cortar las intensidades de defecto en los bornes del secundario del transformador.
-->
... interrupt surges under fault conditions at the terminals of the transfornmer secondary.
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2 hrs (2006-08-04 22:24:44 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
The text is referring to current surges, not voltage (Imax, etc.).
Fuses are chosen to rupture with excess current, not excess voltage.
