Which equipment may be covered under an Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage Form?

The Equipment Breakdown Protection Coverage Form is specifically designed to cover machinery and equipment that are built to operate under internal pressure or vacuum. This includes various types of equipment such as boilers, pressure vessels, and refrigeration units, which are susceptible to breakdowns due to pressure-related issues.

Equipment built to operate under internal pressure or vacuum can experience severe damage if there is a failure in maintaining proper pressure or if there are structural vulnerabilities. As such, this type of equipment typically requires specialized coverage because standard property insurance policies may not address the unique risks associated with these breakdowns.

Understanding this form's focus on equipment functioning under pressure or vacuum helps clarify why it is essential for insuring the potential risks, including explosion or leaks that can arise when the equipment fails. This coverage ensures that the cost of repairs or replacements is adequately managed when such incidents occur.
