IfcElectricDistributionPoint

Definition from IAI: An IfcElectricDistributionPoint is a flow controller in which instances of electrical devices are brought together at a single place for a particular purpose

HISTORY: New entity in IFC 2x2

Use Definitions

An IfcElectricDistributionPoint provides a housing for an aggregation of different types of instances of electrical distribution elements so that they can be viewed, operated or acted upon from a single place. Each item in the aggregation may have its own geometric representation and location by virtue of being a subtype of IfcProduct.

IfcElectricDistributionPoint acts as the relating object in an IfcRelAggregates relationship, the electrical devices that are brough together being the related objects.
