When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Tension supprimé nominale
en suppressed carrier
pertaining to a transmission or emission with amplitude modulation where the power of the sinusoidal carrier component is reduced to a level such that it generally cannot be reconstituted and used for demodulation
fr à porteuse supprimée
qualifie une transmission ou une émission à modulation d'amplitude où la composante porteuse sinusoïdale est trop affaiblie pour qu'on puisse en général la reconstituer et l'utiliser pour la démodulation

Clamping voltage
Also known as the let-through voltage. This specifies what spike voltage will cause the protective components inside a surge protector to divert unwanted energy from the protected line.[2] A lower clamping voltage indicates better protection, but can sometimes result in a shorter life expectancy for the overall protective system. The lowest three levels of protection defined in the UL rating are 330 V, 400 V and 500 V. The standard let-through voltage for 120 V AC devices is 330 volts.[3] The theoretical lowest limit possible let-through voltage for 120 volt power lines was 180 volts. New technology high quality surge suppressors can now clamp voltage at 130 volts.
Underwriters Laboratories (UL),[4] a global independent safety science company, defines how a protector may be used safely. UL 1449, 3rd edition became compliance mandatory in September 2009 to increase safety compared to products conforming to 2nd edition. A Measured Limiting Voltage test, using six times higher current (and energy), defines a Voltage Protection Rating (VPR). For a specific protector, this voltage may be higher compared to a Suppressed Voltage Ratings (SVR) in previous editions that measured let-through voltage with less current. Due to non-linear characteristics of protectors, let-through voltages defined by 2nd edition and 3rd edition testing are not comparable.[

UL Suppressed Voltage Rating (L-N) 330V

Valeur de tension en UL supprimée (L-N ) 330 V

The suppressed voltage rating is located on the device nameplate and is measured 6 inches from the device terminals, according to UL®1449 Second Edition.

Il était difficile, de copier sur la site Schneider lettre à lettre. Donc une lettre perdu. Le dernier "e". Lire donc "Suppressed Voltage Rating = Tension supprimée nominale."

Je me soutiens plutôt à la société Schneider, très connue en France. Suppressed Voltage Rating = Tension supprimée nominale.

| Merci beaucoup. Étant donné le contexte, j'ai dû choisir "Tension supprimée nominale". Mais vos suggestions m'ont guidée, alors je vous en remercie! |

| Merci beaucoup! Vos suggestions sont excellentes, et je crois que dans ce contexte, Tension de blocage aurait été correcte, mais j'ai dû choisir Tension supprimée nominale. |
Discussion
It's very important to guard against over-simplifying here, until we have enough context to go on — I'm pretty sure there's more to this than meets the eye, and so we must be careful not to jump to expedient conclusions.
This is not a very familiar term, and I am wondering if your text was written by a non-native EN speaker, in which case it's easy enough to guess what they probably wanted to say!
If you are unable to judge for yourself, please give us enough extra context for us to be able to see if there are any other 'odd' usages to confirm my suspicions or not.
