Electrical Equipment

In this section all electrical equipment realted information needed to satisfy the Exchange Electrical Model - Equipment will be described.

Information Needed	Man	Opt	Rec	Actor Supplying	Functional Part
The owner history of the equipment must be asserted				Building Design	[Model Electrical Equipment (type, predefined_type) (FP)]
For each item of electrical equipment or distribution point to be considered, general attributes of the equipment types and occurrences may be specified including: name to extend identification of the type or occurrence description that can be used for any further qualifying information				Building Design, [Product Manufacture], [Product Supply]	[Model Electrical Equipment (type, predefined_type) (FP))]
The shape representation and placement for the electrical equipment or distribution point should be asserted. The shape representation of an item of electrical equipment is typically a representation map which is defined for the equipment type and then referenced for each occurrence. Each occurrence specifies its own placement. Within the representation map, the particular form of the shape representation may differ according to the life cycle stage as with flow segments. Generally, the representations selected for the flow fitting representation map will be either: Axis Representation Body Representation o Swept solid o CSG o Bounding box o Boundary representation (Brep) \ Note that since elements may have multiple shape representations, provision of shape representations of electrical systems at different lifecycle stages should be considered as cumulative and not as alternative. Equipment whose shape and location may need to be shared are suggested in the list below ElectricDistributionPoint ElectricFlowStorageDevice battery capacitorbank harmonicfilter inductorbank ups ElectricGenerator ElectricMotor Transformer				Building Design, [Product Manufacture], [Product Supply]	[Model Electrical Equipment (type, predefined_type) (FP))]

Weight

As well as the placement and shape of components, the weight of major items needs to be captured and communicated to ensure structural coordination.
Thus, for each electrical component the following information should be provided.
