electrical equipment

Powered machinery category

Electrical equipment is any device, machine, or apparatus that uses electricity to function.

The term covers everything from small appliances and power tools to industrial machinery and utility infrastructure.

In technical and regulatory contexts, it often appears in safety standards and building codes: All electrical equipment must be properly grounded.

The phrase is deliberately broad, serving as a catch-all when specificity isn't needed.
