relief? (of non-essential circuits)


Explanation:
No estoy segura pero entiendo que hay que "quitar la carga" de algunos circuitos. Wait until someone builds on these and comes up with a better one.

outlet(s)


Explanation:
...providing outlets for non-essential circuits.

Creo que "outlets" es el término más conveniente dado el contexto.

En español "salida(s)" también me parecería más adecuado.
