Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Bashiqa, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

3-phase, Neutral and Earth

Various different ways of expressing it, but that's what it means alright

It's important to note that oft times, things may be abbreviated in FR that are not necessarily used in abbreviated form in EN (and vice-versa, though perhaps to a lesser extent); in particualr, it is unwise to create an ad hoc abbreviation in one language on the basis of a translation of (the expansion of) an abbreviation in the other, where this abbreviation may not be widely known or used. There are very many examples of this in all sorts of technical fields...

3P+N+E

I agree with Tony in that it's 3 phase, neutral and earth, but I believe that correct expression in English is 3P+N+E in this situation (possibly a power output for something like a PA system) see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60309 and page 2 of https://brestarena.fr/sites/default/files/fiche-technique-sp...
Example sentence:

The blue 3P+N+E, 9h (270°) plug is a three phase connector available in areas with both 115 V and 230 V supply systems (mains)

Note from asker:
Thank you very much for your input. I selected the other answer provided simply because it was submitted first, but I really appreciate your explanations.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : As I said, there are various equivalent ways of expressing it; I believe my explanation was destined to help Asker understand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-phase_electric_power

Principle

Normalized waveforms of the instantaneous voltages in a three-phase system in one cycle with time increasing to the right. The phase order is 1‑2‑3. This cycle repeats with the frequency of the power system. Ideally, each phase's voltage, current, and power is offset from the others’ by 120°.

Three-phase electric power transmission lines

Three-phase transformer (Békéscsaba, Hungary): on the left are the primary wires and on the right are the secondary wires
In a symmetric three-phase power supply system, three conductors each carry an alternating current of the same frequency and voltage amplitude relative to a common reference but with a phase difference of one third of a cycle between each. The common reference is usually connected to ground and often to a current-carrying conductor called the neutral. D
