Traditionally called boiler and machinery insurance - covers loss resulting from the accidental breakdown of almost any type of equipment that operates under pressure or that controls, transmits, transforms, or uses mechanical or electrical power. Some common examples of such equipment are steam boilers and other pressure vessels; electrical generating and transmitting equipment; pumps, compressors, turbines, and engines; air conditioning and refrigeration systems; production machinery used in manufacturing operations; and all types of electrically powered office equipment such as copiers and computers.
