Enfin en raison d’une législation locale qui empêche les secours d’intervenir sur un site encore électrifié tout contrôleur est à même, une fois la coupure d’urgence obtenue, de se transformer en *caténairiste* et d’effectuer la mise à la terre du fil de contact alimenté sous 25000 volts.
Dans un texte sur le TGV.
Je n'ai pas trouvé le terme dans le Larousse, mais la définition suivante pour caténaire:
Se dit du système de suspension de fil conducteur servant à l'alimentation en courant des locomotives électriques et des tramways.
Il s'agit donc vraisemblablement d'un électricien spécialisé.
Est-ce que quelqu'un connaît l'équivalent anglais ?
Merci d'avance

OHL technician/engineer
OHL = overhead line expert/technician
Caténaire en anglais se dit "overhead line" - the catenary is only part of the overhead line system in English - it is a "faux ami"
However in this sentence, all they are saying is that the travelling ticket inspector is trained to intervene in the event of a problem and to act as an OHL electrician
