Describing power supply provision in a hosting centre:
"Chaque prise et chaque tableau électrique ont leur propre disjoncteur au niveau du TDAHQ"

meirs Jul 28, 2010: UPS This document is from 1981 - since then, the UPS concept became universal for data centers/computer farms and need not be explained in 2010 (29 years later).UPS Uninterruptible Power Supply
meirs Jul 28, 2010: Essential You can use Essential (power is essential for the consumers), Privileged, Uninterruptible, anyone - it carries the message
meirs Jul 28, 2010: Tableau d'alimentation If you are right, then it is "Power Distribution Panel" or just "Distribution Panel" - prefixed by whatever HQ translates into (HQ for Headquartes is English already)
Martin Cassell (asker) Jul 28, 2010: I'm sort of assuming that this stands for "Tableau d'alimentation HQ", but "master fusebox" sounds rather puny for the context!
