udtagstype

English translation: [combined heat and power] tapping plant

Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation
Danish term or phrase: udtagstype
From a Danish Energy Authority document, in a list of definitions concerning electricity production.
Context: "hvis anlaegget er af udtagstypen..."

English translation:[combined heat and power] tapping plant
Explanation:
This is my offering based on your extra context and the document I did last week (from Norwegian). There, 'uttakspunkt' was 'withdrawal point' in the ref. material sent to me, although 'tapping point' was what I found elsewhere. L&H gives 'udtag' as tapping, so, having had a browze around google hits, an example is given below.
I'm not confident of it, but it sounds as though the author means a CHP plant from which electricity can be tapped.
This is the best I can come up with at the moment. Hope it helps!

neutral  Mads Grøftehauge: so it's not a power outlet or socket in this context?

  -> Good question - more context needed to be sure. 'Electricity production' and 'anlæg' gave me a picture of something bigger, that would include more than one socket. Power outlet is good, because it covers a lot - you should suggest it yourself separately.
