Product/powered product

kind differentiated a true kind

powered product

also called electrically powered product

A product that draws electrical power to perform its function — the slot-bearing distinction that an unpowered product (a plate, a bucket, a curtain) does not share. Beyond the universal product spine it answers the questions common to powered goods: its rated power draw, operating voltage, operating noise, how it is installed, and its energy-label grade where one applies — all optional, because the powered category is broad and these recur across it rather than being universal to every member. This is a structural refinement (it adds answerable questions), NOT a usage category like 'household' or a retail size-tier like 'white goods', both of which carry no structural weight (L8). Appliances, power tools and powered electronics descend from it; in v1's single-inheritance tree this coarsely stands in for a powered/unpowered facet (DEFERRED D1), which is acceptable.

the reading

A genuine kind — it answers questions its parent does not.

A powered product is a product that adds its own power rating, operating voltage, noise level, energy efficiency class and installation type.

what it can tell you the questions a powered product answers

Grouped by the part of the product each question is about. Every powered product can answer all of these.

Identity who and what it is

Each powered product has a display name, a model name, a GTIN code, a single brand and a single manufacturer.

Measurement its measurable, physical facts

Beyond what a product measures, it adds its own power rating (in watts), operating voltage (in volts) and noise level (in decibels). It also records depth, height and width (in millimeters or inches) and net weight (in grams or kilograms). It has a single installation type. It comes in any number of colors and materials.

Pricing what it costs

It can be listed at any number of list prices.

Compliance where it is from and what it meets

Each powered product states its country of origin and energy efficiency class. It may carry any number of certifications.

Media how it is shown

It can be shown with any number of images, each with its own alt text.

Availability whether it can be obtained

It has a single availability status.
