three-phase, four-conductor load circuits

Explanation:
... is what I would suggest for US usage.

Note: 'load circuits' are commonly called 'ring mains' or 'final ring mains' in the UK, but that is only correct if they are actually implemented as ring circuits. AFAIK that is rarely if ever the case in NA, where radial ('straight') load circuits are standard practice.
In addition, ring circuits are rare at best in NL or BE AFAIK, so it's unlikely that the intention is to have the circuits be implemented as ring circuits.
