maybe if you posted the diagram, but I still can't figure out why you think AH is the place to ask this kind of question.

I think it is referring to Earth.

Word to the wise, never take electrical advice from someone who says they 'think'.

APC relates to what we'd call a UPS. BTW, FYI. Big smile. It's a back-up power supply. IMO, DSMIIW.

"APC" means you have to burn your house down, I'm fluent.

Hoof up a pic of the schematic so we can get an idea of what it may be. Symbols on electrical drawings can give big clues.

Sortie après contact. There's a positive output on the circuit after the contact (ignition) point, if your car has one.

I'd say it's more the permanent live feed, input rather than output.

I don't think the French have discovered electrics yet. The guys who designed the electrics in my Megane were definitely strangers to the Ohm

Is this wiring diagram for a car by any chance?

It stands for "après contact" - the +12V supply from the ignition once you turn the key (before you crank the car over, obviously).
