CONTEXT ::
Sommaire des appareils équipant une cellule Arrivée : (in a LV Distribution Board in a Power Plant)
- Un disjoncteur.
- Trois TI.
- Trois TP.
- Un commutateur d'autorisation de commande locale ou à distance.
- Une commande locale.
Trois TI protection.
Anyone know what the acronyms TI and TP stand for?
Thx

seems to be
TI = transformateur de courant = Current transformer (CT)
TP = transformateur de tension = Voltage transformer (VT)
"transformateur de courant TI ou de tension TP"

In electrical engineering, a current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents. Current transformers, together with voltage transformers (VT) (potential transformers (PT)), are known as instrument transformers.

Be careful as there is some ambiguity possible here.
TI is often 'transformateur d'intensité', which is literally 'current transformer', but in practice is often referred to as an 'instrument transformer'
TP is often (but not invariably!) 'transformateur de puissance', to be translated as 'power transformer' — this better indicates the distinction between instrumentation (= very low power) and actual power (= beefy!); but only if that is in fact the distinction originally being made!
So you may need to look elsewhere in your text to try and glean clues as to the actual nature of these transformers, their technical specs., etc.

OK, in the light of your other question about 'boîte d'essai', we now know that these are in fact both current and voltage instrumentation transformers, so CT and VT.
See how vital context and clues from further afield really are?
