Spanish term or phrase: Retorno de potencia
More of the same!
The whole phrase is: "Retorno de potencia de celdas de media tensión"
I think that "celdas de media tensión" is "medium voltage switchgear" but am not sure how to render "Retorno de potencia"...

Reverse power flow to other feeder loads (2) generally occurs only after the feeder MVCB has opened. Its magnitude depends on whether the primary feeder supplies radial loads in addition to network loads. If the feeder has only network loads, then it is possible for the magnitude of (2) to be zero.

Thanks Neil:

BTW - I was curious too what a "recloser" is (I had not heard this term before), and found this (for what it is worth!). I see that the translation is "INTERRUPTOR DE RECIERRE AUTOMATICO (RECLOSER)" (as used in Peru), which is different to the term you requested (retorno de potencia).
