unreliable
Amongst other technical criteria, the maximum earth fault resistence value must be defined, at which its correct selectivity and reliable co-ordination could become unreliable.
What it means is that beyond that value the system would become unreliable, and that up to that point it would operate correctly.
See if my explanation fits with the words I put above.

: I think this comes the closest, except: ..... 'reliable co-ordination would be provided" Compromatida seems to mean 'involved', You could also say: "...defined, which involves the correct selectivity and.." or 'which takes into account the correct"

at risk
One of the meanings of "comprometer" is to put sth in a difficult situation, at risk.
The term is used in that sense in the following examples:
La Fundación Catalana para la Investigación (FCR) advierte en un informe que los menores de edad pueden estar comprometiendo su propia seguridad personal y la de sus padres al comunicarse a través de Internet.
http://www.larazon.es/lared/laredhijos.htm
ha aportado soluciones para que sus usuarios no vean comprometida su seguridad y privacidad
http://www.delitosinformaticos.com/segur/scriptsirc.shtml
I think that your text uses the term in the same sense.
Best regards,
Patricia

involves
Robert nearly had it right- \"Among other technical criteria which must be defined is the maximum ground fault resistance value which will provide correct selectivity and reliable co-ordination.
I think they should have used \'la que entrana\' (sorry no tilde) or \'la que implica\'. Hope this helps!

"... on which... are dependant", "which will determine"
Three choices, one idea:
"on which its correct selectivity and reliable coordination are dependant".
"which will determine its correct selectivity and reliable coordination".
"which is critical for its correct selectivity and reliable coordination".
Hope it helps.

I don't . It is the upper level of burden under which someone/something is supposed to work reliably to the point of giving the expected results. Hence the term "commitment" (to these results).
