| | Clarification request(s) and responseConor McAuley: 1:58pm Jan 24, 2007: Thanks Emma - I get it, terre (nf) > directe (fem. ending)
Does the "directe" have any signification?
Sorry, it's really not my field, doing a job as a favour.

|
| | Earthed / dedicated earthed | Explanation:
As per Emma's answer, T is earthed (grounded in US English).
The directe is "dedicated" here. Those sockets are dedicated to the purpose listed and will be on their own circuits with their own circuit breakers. |
