French term or phrase: rapports extrêmes
In this section of the tender, load losses are being discussed. I'm trying to verify if there is such a thing as an "extreme ratio" or if they mean "maximum ratio" in the following sentence:

"mesure des pertes en charge at tensions de court-circuit directes pour le rapport nominale et les **rapports extrêmes**"

Thanks

Explanation:
If this is still the same context as all your earlier questions, then I assume they are probably talking about tap changing — in which case there will be a (more-or-less) central 'nominal' tap = ratio, and of course ones at the top and bottom end of the tapping range.

I can only assume this must be what they are talking about here, though do note low conf. level as I don't know for sure, nor am I certain of the proper 'official' term.
