Italian term

a flusso diretto

Italian to English Other Energy / Power Generation
"Materiali HV a flusso diretto: materiali destinati ad impianto specificati su un singoli lavori nominativi".

Actually, the document doesn't go into these high voltage materials as such (it mentions them twice in 3000 words), since it's about contracts for supply and delivery in general of parts for the electric grid.

"Direct flow" doesn't work out as far as I can see (no google hits for direct flow material), unless they are talking about HVDC (high voltage direct current), but I don't see that that's the case here.

Any hints?

other options "Electricicy power grid" and "electric power grid" also get Google hits.
Paul O'Brien (asker) Dec 8, 2008:
or just "grid" when you already know. yeah, i normally go for power grid, or just leave it as grid when it's clear what one is talking about. electricy grid also "sounds" better than electric grid. i used "electric" in my question because i was still under the influence of the source text.
James (Jim) Davis Dec 8, 2008:
electric grid (rete elettrica) Just a sort of side comment. I would have used "electricity grid" or even better "power grid". Checking with Googles, quality seems reasonable on all but "power grid" wins hands down on frequency:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="power grid"&btnG=Searc...
Then
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="electricity grid"&btnG...
and finally a close third

direct flow

Ciao Paul,

secondo me "flusso diretto" ha un significato "logistico".

Il flusso non è riferito al materiale "HV", a mio avviso.

Sì è quello che intendo.
Note from asker:
sì, in effetti si tratta di logistica.

transit

I would simply say "transit HV material" as the rest of the sentence suggests that these goods are just temporarily kept as an intermediate stages of the journey from manufacturer to customer
