The ST warns that the cable's insulation may be damaged if it touches the raw edge of the sheet metal, and this can be avoided by using a couvre-champ/t, which would probably be some kind of grommet.

In the image posted by asker, we can see a bunch of cables passing through a rectangular hole in a thin sheet metal enclosure. Just below the dark blue cable tie, you can see how the the underside of the cables is resting against the chant, with a risk that the insulation may be damaged if the cable moves for any reason (vibration, etc.) and rubs against the sharp edge of the hole.

Thanks Emanuella. I will pick your answer, when I am allowed to. Meanwhile I found this: sur champ de champ (same as de chant sur chant ) Dans le sens de la longueur et sur la petite face, dans un plan vertical. de champ sur champ on edge, edgewise |
Thanks a lot Emanuella. A great help. By the way, does anyone know why proz has stopped sending e-mail notifications when people send replies? |

Well thanks for your prompt reply but it's the "champs" bit that I wanted to know. |

: 'cchamp' in your ref document refers to a 'field' or 'array' of panels in a single installation.
