Italian term or phrase: asp.

"quadro elettrico - 5 asp. 5 mand. 50 + 2 asp. 63"

This is an electrical board used in a swimming pool plant room. I have no idea what "asp" or "mand" mean.

Many thanks.

return

Explanation:
I think it relates to the pumps where asp is "aspirazione" which would be the suction or return pump

The return pump is from the swimming pool to the filters, while the other one will be delivery pump going to the swimming pool. In other contexts you might use suction inlet or what have you.
