French term or phrase: tertiaire
Hello all,

I know what tertiaire means as an adjective, and generally I know what it means as a noun (the tertiary sector), but it is evading me in this context. These are the technical specifications for power transformers.


4.4 Dimensionnement thermique du tertiaire
L'enroulement tertiaire couple en triangle lorsqu'il existe doit pouvoir supporter les courants de circulation liés au déséquilibre des réseaux connectes aux enroulements principaux sans dépasser les échauffements garantis au paragraphe 6.3.

agree  rkillings: You can put "the tertiary" in the heading, since "tertiary winding" follows immediately in the next sentence. In this context, it goes without saying that the primary, secondary and tertiary are windings.
