___ is a general term including fittings, devices, appliances, luminaires, apparatus, machinery, and the like used as a part of, or in connection with, an electrical installation.

• A. Load
• B. Equipment
• C. Devices
• D. Installation

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing a broad term that covers all parts used in an electrical installation. The umbrella term for fittings, devices, appliances, luminaires, apparatus, machinery, and similar items that are part of or connected to an electrical installation is Equipment. It’s used to describe everything that makes up or is connected to the system, not the specific function of power at a site (that would be Load), not individual components (which would be Devices or similar), and not the entire system or process (which would be Installation). For example, switches, cables, lighting fixtures, and motors are all considered equipment under an electrical installation.
