I am translating engineering specifications for gas turbines, and I have come across the term "tronçonnement," which isn't in any of my dictionaries. The context of the word is:
"Deux (2) travées tronçonnement barres 225 kV."
I have also come across a similar term, "barres tronçonnables."
Does this term mean "moulded" or "die-cut"? That's my guess, but perhaps I am completely off.
Thank you very much for any help that anyone can provide.

I'm no expert in this field, so this is just a suggestion. My dictionary says "cutting into lengths", but there may well be a specific term.

Comment: "Thank you very much for the answer. It was exactly what I was looking for. I had googled the term, but found nothing useful, until you posted your answer, and then it opened doorways."

sectioning
This is not really about the gas turbine, rather about transmission of the electricity produced by the generator that the turbine drives. Busbars can be divided into sections.
Not many 'good' Googles, so maybe another term is used more often in the industry.

Discussion
I think the term is somewhat obsolete, because I have been translating these for more than 3 years, and haven't previously encountered it. There are other, more accurated terms for 'segmented busbars." :-D
