French translation:Borne d'entrée/de sortie de la phase

Explanation:
l'alimentation en courant alternatif (en général le secteur 220V) comprend la phase (hot ou live) et le neutre. Le neutre a un potentiel proche de celui de la "terre", la phase a (relativement) un potentiel élevé qui peut représenter un risque d'électrocution pour les personnes.

Reference: AC supply

Reference information:
The regular AC supply (230 VAC in Europe) comes over two wires - the Neutral (connected to Earth at the source - the transformer) and the Phase. The latter is also called "hot" because one can get electrocuted/shocked by touching it. Touching the Neutral is practically harmless (so it is "cold" in this aspect).
