non flammable enclosures in domestics.

    If all else fails, read the definitions.




    I couldn't agree more, but does the following definition from the IEC Electropedia website help, or just confuse more?
    Switchgear: a general term covering switching devices and their combination with associated control, measuring, protective and regulating equipment, also assemblies of such devices and equipment with associated interconnections, accessories, enclosures and supporting structures, intended in principle for use in connection with generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy
