300 V f-n

English translation: V line (phase)-to-neutral - 300 V L-N

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:V f-n
English translation:V line (phase)-to-neutral - 300 V L-N

Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng
Spanish term or phrase: 300 V f-n
From a brochure for an electronic energy meter:

"Seguridad:
Categoría III – **300v f-n**
EN61010, Protección al choque eléctrico por doble aislamiento clase II"

I imagine 'v' is for volts, but what about 'f-n'. Fuerza normal?? What would this be in English?

Spanish from Spain for UK English readers preferred.

Any ideas appreciated! Thanks.

I do catalogues with things like this in them all the time and the client always says "just leave it, it doesn't matter" - so now I do.
