/** \details
  This instance is a generalization of all electrical-related objects.
  - Local Placement -
  The local placement for IfcElectricalElement is defined in its supertype IfcProduct. 
  It is defined by the IfcLocalPlacement, which defines the local coordinate system that is referenced by all geometric representations.
  * If specified, the PlacementRelTo relationship of IfcLocalPlacement points to the local placement of the same IfcSpatialStructureElement, 
    which is used in the ContainedInStructure inverse attribute, or to a spatial structure element at a higher level, referenced by that.
  * If the relative placement is not used, the absolute placement is defined within the world coordinate system.
  
  - SurfaceModel Representation -
  Any IfcElectricalElement (so far no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) 
  can be represented as a single or multiple surface models, based on either shell or face based models. 
  It is ensured by assigning the value 'SurfaceModel' to the RepresentationType attribute of IfcShapeRepresentation. 
  In some cases it can be useful to also expose a simple representation as a bounding box representation of the same complex shape.
  
  - Brep Representation -
  Any IfcElectricalElement (so far no further constraints are defined at the level of its subtypes) 
  can be represented as a single or multiple Boundary Representation elements (which are restricted to faceted Brep with or without voids). 
  The Brep representation allows for the representation of complex element shape. 
  It is ensured by assigning the value 'Brep' to the RepresentationType attribute of IfcShapeRepresentation. 
  In some cases it can be useful to also expose a simple representation as a bounding box representation of the same complex shape.
  
  - MappedRepresentation -
  The new mapped item, IfcMappedItem, should be used if appropriate as it allows to reuse 
  the geometry definition of the equipment type at occurrences of the same equipment type. 
  In this case the IfcShapeRepresentation.RepresentationType = MappedRepresentation is used.
