Parece que neste sentido, é um substantivo masculino, então o termo seria "terra elétrico". :-)

"Conforme definido, o terra elétrico (ideal) é um ente utópico [...]"
http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_(eletricidade)

Example sentence(s):
  • O “terra” é um conector que possui valor igual a zero Volt absoluto, ou seja, seu valor não se altera, diferentemente do neutro.
