In this episode you will learn:

- Equipment Breakdown covers only "sudden and accidental" breakdown, excluding gradual wear and tear, rust, or corrosion.

- It fills a critical gap, as standard property policies exclude internal failures like mechanical breakdown or boiler explosion.

- Covered equipment is broad, including boilers, electrical panels, HVAC systems, production machinery, and computer systems.

- Key coverage extensions often tested are Spoilage Damage for perishable goods and Business Income for lost profits during downtime.

- A common exam trap is distinguishing a covered sudden event (e.g., motor burnout) from an uncovered maintenance issue (e.g., slow corrosion).
