An Electrical Item is an Item specialized for electrical equipment or components. It identifies the engineering object and records characteristics such as voltage, current, power, mounting, and protection ratings.
When to use it
- Use it for electrical equipment represented in the product structure, such as a motor or power supply.
- Use it when electrical ratings and equipment characteristics matter to selection or review.
Key information
- Engineering identity: item number, name, description, revision, and state.
- Ratings: voltage, current, power, and IP rating.
- Equipment context: mounting type, compliance certifications, and end of life date.
Common relationships
- Subitem connects the electrical item into an engineering assembly.
- Item – Document links supporting specifications or equipment documentation.
- Drawing associates the item with its engineering drawing.
Working with this record
Check ratings against the intended application before adding the item to a structure. Keep the managed revision and its supporting specification clear when comparing alternatives. Availability of a rating field does not by itself demonstrate compliance.
Example
Motor M-100 is an Electrical Item used in Pump P-100. The team records its voltage and power rating and connects a motor specification document. Reviewers can compare the intended motor definition with the pump requirements.
Choosing the right type
Choose Electrical Item for electrical equipment and its ratings. Choose Electronic Item for an electronic component or circuit assembly. Apply your organization’s classification consistently where the two disciplines overlap.
