Italian term or phrase: BTM
I hate abbreviations. Anyone know what BTM stands for here:
L’impianto avrà come limite di fornitura i collettori di terra (BTM) che si trovano all’interno delle sale quadro.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Tom, do you happen to know what BTM stands for?

Asker: I know it should be BTM but I was just curious what it stood for, if anything. I'm the curious type. But thanks a million for all your help

neutral  TranslationCe: That's "collettori di terra" though. I presume BTM would remain BTM.

Reference information:
Ad esempio la regola della sez. di 2,5 mmq dalle nostre parti era una specifica ANIC, quando tanti tecnici in seguito ai rovesci di detta societa' si sono messi in proprio hanno trasferito questa "norma" a tutti gli impianti, compresi quelli dei motori degli aprifinestre.
Sempre per lo stesso motivo (fuga di cervelli) abbiamo avuto un periodo per cui i collettori di terra dovevano **obbligatoriamente chiamarsi BTM** ed essere in piatto di acciaio inox, altrimenti niente collaudo.
