如大厅支 suporte de salao,pois, https://www.deepl.com/translator?utm_source=lingueecom&utm_m...

Agree, this probably came from MT, TAO.....nao e muito certo mais veja a Linguee,,,使用随附的接地电缆将机器接地(将接地棒固定在地面上,或与牢固锚定的金属结构连接,如大厅支架)。 (MT english to Chinese, then Mt to Portuguese, press on last phrase, other possible meanings of Chinese word,,,,pavilion, hall, structure, ship, hall, hall way..Dange of Artificial intelligence involves too much guess work.

I asked: “hall supports”
Is this something like “structural stanchions/foundantions”?

The answer was: like hall maintenance

I still don't know if I understand this...

@Vanessa Considering this electrical earthing, the common practice is to bolt the earth cable to structural metal members of the building - Sorry about my answer being in English, the source text is such a mishmash I put the answer in correct english rather than portuguese!
Vanessa Afonso (asker) Jul 24, 2023:
I don't know. It is the first time that I come across this one.
I will send a query to my client asking for an explanation.
@Vanessa Um typo? Wall supports?
Tomasso Jul 24, 2023:
British English Possibly metal pilings or supports in the ground, earth, that hold up a structure, ,eamomg pf Hall, a large open shed. Do you have the examples in British English?

Estruturas metálicas

O objetivo é aterrar (eletricamente) a máquina conectando o cabo de aterramento fornecido a uma de barra de metal (geralmente é utilizado barra de cobre) fincada no solo, ou conectando esse cabo a um ponto metálico que já esteja aterrado, como a estrutura metálica do hall (a large usually imposing building for public or semipublic purposes).

Cheers Clau! I thought I was translating Chinglish into English :-) What a pig's ear of source text! Mostly nonsensical
agree Tomasso : The Eng seems British, but many people 50 years ago used that in China, Hong Kong, just curious ...seems MT
