Sorry Jaqueline, no coconut this time but keep trying! Ken's answer was the first that I could use to finish an urgent text. Thanks also to vixen, Henk and David. Perhaps '3-phase power assemblies' would cover it in total?

power distribution groups


Explanation:
Another guess, really.

1, Power Line 16,000V 16.7Hz; 2, Pantagraph; 3, Main Transformer, converts from 16,000V to lower voltages; 4, Power distribution group - the two motor blocks both have independent power distribution groups; 5, Power distribution computer; 6, Main computer; 7,Drive controller; 8, Bogie A & Bogie B motor module, 2 traction motors each; 9, Auxiliary power contvertor from 886V to 380V three phase, 50Hz for coaches; 10; 380V TP cable to coaches; 11, 1000V coach heating power; 12, Coach transformer, converts 1000V to 220V, 65V & 26V.

or perhaps power distribution units.

Fairview, PA - June 6, 2002 - The new DC SMARTstart power distribution unit (PDU) for remote and/or local power management is now available from Spectrum Control. The DC SMARTstart is used to monitor and control power for secondary distribution and incorporates both manual and remote operation. Remote operation is accomplished through either an RS-232 serial console port or LAN TCP/IP telnet connection. These units are designed to maximize network uptime with a rapid circuit breaker trip time (up to 10 times faster than conventional breakers) and reliable over/under voltage protection.

high voltage switchboard


Explanation:
as far as I know, 'kracht' refers to a higher than usual voltage (s80 Volt versus 220 Volt)

Kluwer:
krachtstroom = power current; high-voltage current; electric power
groep = group; group of (switchgear) cubicles; multi-cubicle arrangement; switchboard


Internet reference:
High Voltage Switchboard

three phase supplies (groups)


Explanation:
"Krachtsroom" is a "three phase supply"

Heat generation results in loss of power. Especially in 3 phase.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Ken Cox: yeah, I think you're right, a krachtgroep is a 3-phase circuit and/or a 3-phase circuit breaker, and I suppose a groepenkast can also be called a regelkast... (that's what comes not googling in order to respond to an urgent request)
