Electric motor
This is from the specifications for a conveyor belt motor:
"Moteur 380V triphasé + T - 50Hz - Alternatif."
380V three-phase motor, 50Hz AC, but what could "+ T" mean?
"Moteur 380V triphasé + T - 50Hz - Alternatif."

: Yes, though do note that while 'earth' is commonly abbreviated to 'E', I believe 'ground' is more usually shortened to 'GND'.

Many thanks. Yes, GND quite common, and GN is sometimes seen too. Also, your word order above is good advise.

+ PEN
PE = Protective Earth, N = Neutral.
Standardised by IEC (International Electrical Commission)
PEN is the combined PE and N conductor, derived from the star point of a three-phase system, mostly earthed on the transformer secondary side.
In rare cases the housing is earthed directly without any connection to PE, or PEN. Then the abbreviation. 'E' (or 'T' for 'Terre' in French) is justified.
The USA do not observe all IEC standards, and maintained the common, but ambitious term GND (Ground) used for earth, masse (body) and PE.
If the target country is UK (or the Commonwealth) we should avoid entering American terms.
