Aug 5, 2022 at 1:54 comment added PStechPaul I don't recall ever hearing the term, but for most of my career I've been a fairly independent design engineer, and then self-employed for over 30 years. I usually refer to the process as initial power-up and testing. Many of my designs had been high current primary injection circuit breaker test sets that typically were powered from a 480 VAC 400A mains circuit, and after a few exciting events, we used a current-limited variable voltage box to make sure there would be no nasty surprises.
Aug 4, 2022 at 16:17 comment added TonyM @cup, sure...which country are you in, by the way? "bring X up to speed" is probably more common. But, like you say, maybe it depends a lot on where you are and who you are. Like 'any road up', meaning 'anyway' or 'in any event', which is everyday common in the north of England but probably not abroad. Any road up, now you know :-D

Aug 4, 2022 at 16:13 comment added cup I don't listen that carefully - I remember "bring up the speed" on standalone pumps/generators but I don't recall hearing "bring the speed up". When driving/cycling, it is normally "can you drive/cycle faster/slower". Maybe I'm in a country where people just phrase things differently. I understand what you are saying: just don't recall ever hearing it phrased like that.

Aug 4, 2022 at 14:32 comment added TonyM @cup, you've never heard the phrase "bring the speed up" ? Not once, even in films, daily life, people driving cars or on bikes etc. :-)
Aug 4, 2022 at 14:17 comment added cup Haven't heard or bringing up an engine before - then again, I don't work in those circles. Getting used to the term after hearing it every day, several times a day. It is like equipments. Takes a lot of getting used to.
