Spanish term

en forma de neblina

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mining & Minerals / Gems procedimiento en caso de incendio en subestaciones
Sólo se puede utilizar agua cuando se ha asegurado el total corte de energía del área y deberá hacerse en forma de neblina.

Esta indicación se encuentra entre los varios pasos a seguir por las brigadas de emergencia y el técnico de turno para apagar un incendio en una subestación o cámara subterránea en un área cercana a una mina.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda.
