Electrical device
Electric(al) devices are
mechanical devices which depend on different power sources like fuels or human physical strength. Electronic devices are a specialized kind of electrical devices in which electric power is predominantly used for data processing rather than the generation of mechanical forces. To better differentiate between both classes, electric devices that emphasize physical work are also called electromechanical. Mechatronics
accentuates the intersection of both fields.
Together, electronic and electric devices, their development, maintenance, and power supply comprise the subject of electrical engineering.
The majority of electric devices in
Due to their dependence on electric power sources, in general well-evolved
smart metering.[4]
Electrical equipment
Electrical equipment includes any
electrical components, and often a power switch
. Examples of these include:
- Lighting
- Major appliance
- Small appliances
- IT equipment (printersetc.)
- HVACSystems
More specifically, electrical equipment refers to the individual components of an
electrical distribution
system. These components may involve:
- Electric switchboards
- Distribution boards
- Circuit breakers and disconnects
- Transformers
- Electricity meter
