My understanding


trip

7 a : to actuate a mechanism b : to become operative
or

b (1) : a device for tripping a mechanism (as a catch or detent)

Usually these are safety circuits that will trip, say, when a threshold speed is exceeded. Usually electrical, in series with the power switch.

Notabschaltung can be used, but to me it has the connotation of a manual action while 'trip' is usually without manual intervention.

You are in the right ballpark with ...abschaltung.

Good luck.

Comment: "Ja, aber es ging ja darum, was ausgelöst wird, bzw. was mit der Anlage passiert, deren Einrichtung ausgelöst wird."
