perhaps some kind of substance, in Robert&Collins I found:
blanc de zinc = zinc white, oxide of zinc
blanc de céruse ou d'argent ou de plomb = white lead
blanc d'Espagne whiting, whitening

switchgear blank values

a blanc here may be a "blank", a kind of baseline/reference sample. I don't know if there is any water involved in switchgear and if your text deals with MV/HV, hence the lowest/I am guessing confidence level.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Was working up to "blanks" myself, though poss. with "appareillage" = "testing apparatus". As a means of checking/zeroing the apparatus by using it on known "blank" samples?

Oh yes, it must be it! I was at a loss with appareillage, and your suggestion is much more relevant than mine
Something went wrong...
