English translation:conditioning
Explanation:
Sounds like they are referring to the electrical power conditioning specs to be used during the installation. Probably relate to the dimensions and conductivity of the ground conductor, and the types of ground connectors used, plus their electrical characteristcs. "Conditioning" would be the right term here.
