IT neutral system (in principle)
Explanation:
In principle "IT" should be used and recognized by English speakers since it is defined by some international electrical organization. These abbreviations (TN, TN-S, TN-C, TN-C-S, TT, IT) are widely used by the French, but I'm not convinced they are so common in the ESW. Possibly only some of them are known, since different countries use different electrical systems.

IT (Impedance Terra) Power Systems have no direct connection to Ground (Earth), the exposed conductive parts of the installation are directly connected to Ground. Also called an impedance grounded system."
