spécifications installations électriques d'un hotel

j'ai un doute sur la traduction de "TP&N"
Peu de contexte car il s'agit de tableaux destinés aux électriciens.

"No of ways : 6-ways TP&N
incoming switch : 63A TP&N"

cela signfie-t-il "Triphasé+neutre" ?


merci d'avance

TP&N = 3-phase + Neutral
triphasé avec neutre


Explanation:
I just wanted to add this as an answer, to give me the chance to point that it isn't just 'triphasé' — it's most important to keep that 'neutral' in there as well, since certain 3-phase connection configurations do exist without a neutral. Unlikley, of course, in the context, but it's the translator's job to be as accurate and complete as the source text.
