| | ALSB (General Low-Voltage Board) | Explanation:
There appears to be no equivalent for this Flemmish acronym, neither in English nor in Dutch.
Therefore I'd opt for leaving 'ALSB' + this literal, simple and clear translation of the full meaning.
Remarks:
1) 'board' in analogie met het zeer gebruikelijke
'moederbord' --> 'motherboard'
2) depending on customer's taste etc. the capitals in the words in brackets could be replaced by lower-case.
Veel succes op NGTV-niveau! [<-- = deels grapje voor luistervinken]

| Grading comment This is a tough one, for both rodi's & Ton's solutions lead me to this site: www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~cms/elec/lvdb.html (LVDB). Forgive me, rodi, if you feel I'm being unfair, but I have to choose one of you, and today Ton get's the benefit of 'my' doubt. Thanks muchly to both of you.
