TET (Work Under Voltage)


Explanation:
Peter, I had this exact term to translate a few months ago (the client was EDP) and they told me to translate as above.

I am not sure this is the best translation, I offer it as a suggestion because that's how the client told me to translate it and because there is a chance that it might help you.
