¡Qué tal!
Alguien que me ayude, por favor, con «delayed 300 VAC nominal». ¿Cómo se escribe en español, 300 VCA nominales retrasados?
Gracias.

de fusión lenta
Inspection of the belated (delayed?) context, it's clear that "delayed" doesn't refer to the 300 VAC supply. It refers to the 16A fuse that protects the equipment (and the supply..).
Taking the 2nd example first:
supplied by a delayed fuse of 16 A
-->
alimentado via un fusible de fusión lenta de 16A
The first example is badly written in English, but it's still clear that "delayed" refers to the fuse.
So, what is a "delayed fuse"? It's a fuse that doesn't interrupt the supply as soon as an overload occurs. There is a delay - maybe a second or two - which avoids unnecessary loss of power if a very short overload occurs (eg: a short mains spike), but will still protect everything if the overload is longer (eg: a short-circuit).
Note that the Spanish translation corresponds to one of the alternative names of these fuses in English: "slow-blow".
Contrast and compare:
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusible
Tipo gT: Fusible de fusión lenta. Protege contra sobrecargas sostenidas y cortocircuitos.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)
The time delay fuse (also known as anti-surge, or slow-blow) are designed to allow a current which is above the rated value of the fuse to flow for a short period of time without the fuse blowing. These types of fuse are used on equipment such as motors, which can draw larger than normal currents for up to several seconds while coming up to speed.

I guess this is related to the phase of the voltage, that may be delayed by different components in the system. Without more context, it is difficult to say.

: Si lo más lógico es que esté hablando de si el voltaje va retrasado o adelantado respecto a la intensidad... Saludos

disagree |
Jennifer Levey
: Extremely unlikely, even without regard to the minimal context provided by Asker.//I disagreed precisely because I know that; a V/A phase shift, or phase-to-phase shift (of V or A), is irrelevant for an "alimentación" in Asker's pseudo-context.

As you most probably know, alternate voltage and current get delayed or advanced depending on the devices contained on the circuit, thus my answer.

: There are time delay relays which help delay-start motors as to avoid voltage transients developing. http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/digital/chpt-5/time...

: Even with the minimal context we now have, this is - at best - guesswork.//Now we have the context, this turns out to be wrong :(

Discussion
It's about technical features and main power supply. Then, as a note, it says that the table is taken by 16 A, "delayed 300 VCA nominal" placed in the mains supply electrical cabinet. Later, it says the equipment must be supplied by a delayed fuse of 16 A-300 VAC.
Sorry for my lack of information.
Thank you all.
