      "tripping off" meant like "triggering"?

      Yes. A fault causes the circuit to "trip" or trigger in to an open state.

          I'm working on some logic related to recognizing certain phrases or translations. I've tried both the Google and Microsoft translators, but question the results. Is there a corresponding word in French for trip? The translators keep giving me "voyage" even when I use it in context. My circuit breaker is tripping off... it is not going on a Caribbean cruise. :mad:

              Exit seems a good idea for a fuse blowing! Perhaps "Dans le noir" would be more appropriate?

                    In French, the circuit breaker is a "disjoncteur" The proper translation would be the verb "disjoncter" But in your case, you would say something like. "Mon disjoncteur a sauté"

                      I'd go with "coupé" (cut) for a trip-switch triggering.

                        That's because the use of "Trip" in the context you have means "Failed". In english it's almost a slang phrase. What you probably want it "Le circuit a échoué" - The circuit has failed

                        If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

                            "kablooie"? Try something less idiomatic to start with. "Entered a fail state"

                              "My circuit breaker is tripping off" That means it exceeded its voltage max and failed. Doesn't mean it's broken, but it's designed to fault when that happens.

                                Might not be any such word. Consider they stopped creating the ten's values at sixty, and for seventy, you needed sixty-ten. If that was a difficult stretch - expect "others". Best solution: just make something up. See if anyone notices.

                                      Actually circuit breakers don't look at voltage - they are designed to trip with an excess of current.

                                        or a little more technically:

                                        Mon disjoncteur s'est déclenché...

                                          I'm working on some logic related to recognizing certain phrases or translations. I've tried both the Google and Microsoft translators, but question the results. Is there a corresponding word in French for trip? The translators keep giving me "voyage" even when I use it in context. My circuit breaker is tripping off... it is not going on a Caribbean cruise. :mad:

                                          Disconnect is the English term you need to think of, in French, disjonct. Quick tip, think of the more polished, professional sounding word in English when translating into French. So donate vs give, aid vs help. The translation will be closer.
