French term or phrase: gaine GSY et caisson PSEM d'évacuation
A transformer broke down in a nuclear power plant, entailing plant stoppage. Related damages included
"gaines GSY d'arrivée de courant et caisson PSEM d'évacuation"
Not my field at all, I've come up with GSY sheath and PSEM evacuation housing". Could someone confirm, or tell me what are"GSY" and "PSEM"- thanks in advance

English translation:GSY = grid synchronization and connection system
Explanation:
Without knowing more about the background, it's hard to say for sure, but GSY is given in the AFNOR Nuclear Reactor glossary as grid synchronization and connection system - as part of the turbine generator. I wonder if "gaine" could therefore be ducts in this case.

I can't come up with anything for PSEM, I'm afraid. As you say, a caisson is normally a housing or vessel of some kind.
