break line
Explanation:

"When an extended part of an object has a continuous shape and size, you can save space by abbreviating the object using zigzag or wavy lines. These zigzag or wavy lines are called break lines because you figuratively break away an unimportant segment of an object. The two types of break lines are long break lines and short break lines."

See also here for the difference between long and short break lines used in architectural drawings:
"There are two types of break lines. One is the long break line and the other is the short break line. [...]"
