Tech/Engineering - Business/Commerce (general) / electrical wiring colours/phases
Dutch term or phrase: uitkleuren
Has anyone ever come across this odd term?

My context:

"Fase Uitkleur Unit (FUU)
Een betrouwbaar en gebruiksvriendelijk meetsysteem voor het veilig uitkleuren van (grond)kabels.
De FUU wordt gebruikt door energiebedrijven en loopt vooruit op de Europese veiligheidsnormen."

see also: "Uitkleuren, het door middel van meting vaststellen van de juistheid van de (via montage) te maken verbindingen." (http://docplayer.nl/48648378-Bei-hhnk-bedrijfsvoering-van-el... )

It seems to mean something like, determining/identifying the phase of particular cables, and this in some way related to their colour? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

colour-based (phase) identification
Explanation:
Am fairly sure colour-based phase identification unit or set would be a correct translation, but am checking this out with a company here in Holland. Will let you know the outcome. To see how it works, I would say check out the video on https://vimeo.com/204509403 (where you will also find the term FUU translated as phase identification set).

Explanation:
> plot with reference to the verb only.

Fase Uitkleur Unit (FUU) -> Phase Identification Unit (PIU)

Otherwise, the asker has 'identified' the right term.

--------------------------------------------------

it's got to be a verb, so add by colo(u)...

Example sentence(s):
  • The Phase Identification Unit (PIU) provides a means of identifying the electrical connected phase of single phase properties WITHOUT ENTERING THE PROPERTY.
  • In the boxplots of nodal voltage profiles shown in Figure 13, the red positive signs demonstrate the outliers of the voltages in the created scenarios.

Reference information:
Sinds 1990 produceren wij de Fase Uitkleur Unit. Dit is een meetsysteem voor het veilig selecteren van de fase aders in (grond)kabels voor laag-, midden- of hoogspanningssystemen, waar de kabel vanwege geldende veiligheidseisen met een aardgarnituur geaard moet worden. Naast snel en gebruiksvriendelijk, is de FUU dus vooral veilig. Met z’n ingebouwde veiligheidssystemen voldoet het aan alle eisen van veilig werken in hoogspanningsnetten. De Nederlandse energiebedrijven gebruiken de FUU als standaard fase uitkleurmethode voor met name de midden-spanningsnetten. De FUU wordt geleverd in diverse configuraties, waaronder die voor kabel diameters tot 50mm of tot 100mm.
