The original says "Beschädigungen oder Auslösungen", hence my "damage to lightning conductors ... or tripped fuses"

: This looks like general instructions, so I guess it wouldn't have tripped...sorry, Alan, but I think the context is against you this time!

Well I'm willing to be corrected :-) But I've never seen Auslösungen used like this before. Are you sure you don't want to change your mind? :-)

Comment: "Thanks a lot! I finally found "disconnected" on this website: www.dehn.de/www_DE/frameset_www.html?/www_DE/PAGES_E/service/downloads/lp_guide05/lp_guide05.html
However, I think Alan's answer was closer to that, that's why I would like to assign the points to him. Thanks to all of you!"

: To the best of my knowledge, „Auslösungen“ can't be used that way in German. Ablösungen, ok, but not Auslösungen.

I took it to mean whether something might have "gelöst""aus" something else, but you are right, calling that an Auslösung is indeed a novelty :)
