triple prong outlet
Explanation:
Hi Cecilia,

I am pretty sure they are describing a triple prong outlet for alternating current/grounding. I don't see what else it could be in this context, especially since they are referring to an electrical connection.

Here are some references:

Low-level alternating current can be extremely dangerous if the path of the current
is ... Equipment that is not double-insulated must have a three-prong ...

... with frequency, but it is good to remember that N. American alternating current ... More
heavy-duty appliances have a grounded three-prong plug, with ...

Hope this helps!

Actually, I should have said \"three prong outlet\". I think that term is used more often.
