French term

forte section

French to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation
Il peut être tenu compte de l'influence des réactances des conducteurs de forte section en augmentant la résistance de 15 % pour la section de 150 mm2, de 20 % pour la section de 185 mm2 et de 25 % pour la section de 240 mm2.

I am probably too tired... this translation is exhausting me!

Selected

large cross-section

The reactance of conductors of large cross-section (150 mm2, 185 mm2 etc) can be compensated by increasing the resistance.
Note from asker:
May I say marvelous? I missed the cross section... I am seeing double, triple perhaps.

agree Tony M : Though it's perhaps not so much a question of increasing the resistance as allowing for increased resistance, if you get my drift... / I think the 'peut être tenu compte de' makes it reasonably clear

I certainly get your drift, Tony, but without more context the source text doesn't make much sense so we can only speculate.//Reasonably clear, peut-être, but well short of transparent...
