Norwegian term

rusningsvern

Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general) Ignition source control
Hi - I'm having difficulty find the English equivalent for this, although I've found some reference to nødspjeld


Nødspjeld (rusningsvern/rig-saver) er blant annet installert på dieselmotorer som driver pumper for brannvann.

Another example

Økningen medfører til slutt at rusningsvern slår inn og stopper motoren

Thanks for your help!

overspeed trip

I have found this is the common usage afloat and ashore.
Example sentence:

The increase in speed causes the overspeed trip to activate and stop the engine.

Note from asker:
Thanks - that's very helpful, however in my document the more formal "protection" fits better.
