Explanation:
Having worked for Schneider Electric and dealt with similiar translations I can confirm for sure that "LT/MT" means "Low or Medium Voltage", "cabine di transformazione" is definately substations, and "gruppi elettrogeni" is generators.

MT/BT substations and generators


Explanation:
A "cabina di trasformazione" is a substation (according to Eurodicautom). "Gruppo elettrogeno" is "generator" (cf. Wordreference.com). Not totally sure about "BT/MT", but I found an English site that refers to "MT/BT substations".

CORRECTION:

This should be \"LT/MT substations and generators\"!

BT stands for \"bassa tenzione\", which is low tension (LT). \"MT\" stands for \"media tenzione\", which is \"medium tension\".

In fact, it might even be \"LV/MV\" for \"low voltage/medium voltage\".

Definitely \"substations and generators\", though.

Gruppi elettrogeni means D.C.generators for welding use as well as transformers to be used as welding source of energy.
