Dutch term or phrase:pin aarde, geen randaarde > pin grounding ?????,.....
Hallo
Ik heb nog een vraagje. Deze keer is het gevraagde te vinden in de vergaderverslagen van een scheepsbedrijf.
Context: "Alle WCD's zijn op ca. 1,8-2 m hoogte geplaatst, en hebben een pin aarde, geen randaarde."
The first one mentioned here has an earth pin, probably like Type E / French with the pin protruding from the socket. The second type has earth clips at two sides, like Type F / German (and Dutch), which apparently in English goes by the (German) name of a Schuko socket.

protective earthing using a pin instead of edge contacts
Explanation: This has to do with two different safety earthing arrangements for electrical plugs: a central, third pin that protrudes from the socket (used in France and (maybe) in some Scandanivian countries) and a set of contacts on opposite sides of the edge of the socket and plug (used in Germany and the Netherlands). Both systems may well be used in Belgium, depending on the region.
There may be specific terms for this in English, but they would be quite specialised, because neither of these arrangements is used in the UK or North America. Your best choice may thus be to use a descriptive paraphrase, possibly in combination with "French system" and "German system".
