Intensité de déclenchement de courte durée nominale

Même s'il me semble inhabituel d'avoir "rated" et "short-time" dans la même caractéristique.
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : No, that's not unusual (though 'rated' is redundant in a list of... 'ratings'!); but this isn't 'déclenchement' (tripping) but 'making' (opp. of 'breaking') — at best 'enclenchement', but that's not the right term here anyway.

courant présumé établi de courte durée nominal

The FR is more explicit, since obviously when the contact is made (= closed), the current cannot be known, only presumed!
'nominal' is probably best for 'rated' here.
IATE and GDT both propose this translation for 'making current'; in GDT, we also find 'courant d'enclenchement' (strictly speaking, the idea is really 'à l'eclenchement')

Here's the entry from Electropedia, which by the look of it would be a useful resource for you on your current project:

en
prospective making current (for a pole of a switching device)
prospective current when initiated under specified conditions
Note – The specified conditions may relate to the method of initiation, e.g. by an ideal switching device, or to the instant of initiation, e.g. leading to the maximum prospective peak current in an AC circuit, or to the highest rate of rise. The specification of these conditions is found in the relevant publications.

courant établi présumé (pour un pôle d'un appareil de connexion) m
courant présumé lorsqu'il est établi dans des conditions spécifiées
Note – Les conditions spécifiées peuvent se rapporter à la méthode d'établissement, par exemple par un appareil de connexion idéal, ou à l'instant d'établissement, par exemple conduisant à la valeur maximale de crête ou à la vitesse maximale d'accroissement. La spécification de ces conditions est donnée dans les publications particulières.
