electrical
of, relating to, or concerned with electricity

electrical [ə′lek·trə·kəl]
(electricity)
Related to or associated with electricity, but not containing it or having its properties or characteristics; often used interchangeably with electric.

electric, electrical
The qualifying adjectives electric and electrical have the following meanings: containing, producing, arising from, actuated by, or related to electricity. In general, electric is used when the term being qualified designates something that has the properties, dimensions, or physical characteristics associated with electricity; electrical is used when the term being qualified does not explicitly designate something that has the properties, dimensions, or physical characteristics of electricity (e.g., electrical engineering). However, sometimes these two terms are used interchangeably.
