Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / electronics in NPP
French term or phrase: référentiel de masse
De plus l'adoption pour l'alimentation électrique des entités de contrôle-commande d'une division / section d'un référentiel de masse unique, garantit qu'aucun potentiel autre que 24V continu (tension d'alimentation nominale) ne peut être appliqué par une entité de CC à une autre en cas d'incendie, conduisant à l'absence de risque d'endommagement des cartes d'E/S sur application d'un potentiel interne aux entités de CC.

and again :


Ce principe est extensible à l'extra-division/section, la masse électrique de chaque division/section étant reliée à la terre électrique (= référentiel de masse intra et extra-division unique pour les entités de CC).

agree  chris collister: or just "ground reference", potential being understood. I wonder if the use of "referentiel" doesn't refer to the physical ground connection rather than the voltage on it?
