Together, electronic and electric devices, their development, maintenance, and power supply comprise the subject of electrical engineering.
The majority of electric devices in households is stationary and — due to their considerable power consumption — relies on electrical installation, especially electric outlets instead of small electric generators, batteries, rechargeable or not.
Due to their dependence on electric power sources, in general well-evolved power grids, electric devices and their power consumption pattern have moved into the focus of smart metering.
Electrical equipment
Electrical equipment includes any machine powered by electricity. It usually consists of an enclosure, a variety of electrical components, and often a power switch. Examples of these include:
- Lighting
- Major appliance
- Small appliances
- IT equipment (computers, printers etc.)
- Motors, pumps and HVAC Systems
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
