Potential free contacts (also called "dry contacts") are simply contacts which are physically operated with the main device, but not electrically connected to it. For example a motor contactor often has auxiliary contacts that are operated by the main coil and open and close at the same time as the main contacts but are not used for control of the motor starter. If they are connected to an outside circuit to indicate the status of the starter without being powered by the motor supply they would be considered potential free contacts.

dry contacts

Depends on the country of the audience. For example I am currently working with India and they use dry for pulito and wet for contatti in tensione
