From a document about a company that supplies low-voltage switchgear and control systems for ships:
"Die Haupteinsatzgebiete unserer Schaltanlagen sind Generatorfelder, Verbraucherfelder, Motorstarter und Verteilungen für den Schiffseinsatz."
I know that a 'Verbraucher' is an electrical device, but it is the 'Felder' I am puzzled by. Is it groups of electrical devices?
