French term or phrase: TGBT ondulé
TGBT ondulé
Le Tableau Général Ondulé répondra aux mêmes spécifications techniques que le Tableau Général basse Tension (TGBT), décrit ci-dessus.
Le TGBT Ond est prévu en aval de l’onduleur pour la distribution de l’énergie en haute qualité.
Au travers du TGBT Ond et des tableaux divisionnaires ondulés, le réseau de distribution sans coupure, prendra en charge l’alimentation et la protection des équipements suivant :
Le répartiteur général et sous répartiteurs
La vidéo surveillance
L’éclairage du répartiteur général
1/3 de l’éclairage normal des espaces communs.
La GTC
La distribution sera réalisée suivant le régime de neutre TN-S. Les disjoncteurs seront tétrapolaires, tripolaires ou bipolaires.
Une réserve de départs équipés de 20 % sera également intégré au tableau.

I know what it means, but how would you express it? Inverter-powered LVMDB? UPS-fed LVMDB?

Since it says "Le Tableau Général Ondulé répondra aux mêmes spécifications techniques que le Tableau Général basse Tension (TGBT), décrit ci-dessus.", I assume that the TGBT ondulé is a separate board fed solely by a UPS.

Explanation:
Personally, I wouldn't use LVMDB, my regular version is MLVS (Main Low-Voltage Switchboard); however, that's not the crux of your question!

In places like hotels, hospitals, boradcasts, computer centres, etc., we generally talk about a 'maintained' supply — it is 'maintained' in the case of a power cut.

Exactly how it is maintained need not be specified, and is probably better not, since the FR are a bit naughty, often using 'ondulé' (which specifically implies an invertor-type UPS) for any kind of maintained supply (e.g. might use a diesel generating set!)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Tony, "fidèle au poste" as usual! Thanks very much. Yes, I hesitated between LVMDB and MLVS, used the latter then replaced by the former. I will now avail myself of your wisdom and go back to MLVS. Thanks too for the naughty FR info.
