Hello All Just received word from an electrician that "load fitting" is the female end of an extension cord. Thanks.

Tony M Dec 7, 2016:

@ Chakib Oh yes, indeed, on a simplistic, word-by-word basis, so do I! But I encounter these terms regularly in my FR > EN translations, and I know that different terms may be used, in particular depending on what perspective the overall situation gives on what this load fitting is — which is why clarification would help.

Chakib Roula Dec 7, 2016:

@Tony
I have wrongly expressed my need as I do understand what is a load and a fitting.

Tony M Dec 7, 2016:

@ Chakib No, I'm afraid it's NOT!

Whilst it is clear what the underlying sense is, the term can have several different translations, depending on the exact technical context in which it appears... whence my question.

Chakib Roula Dec 7, 2016:

The context provided is good enough to understand the meaning. More would be very helpful.

Tony M Dec 7, 2016:

@ Asker Please explain what the situation here is, and what the equipment being described is?
