Under the 2nd group exclusions, which item is not covered?

• A. Damage to electrical devices caused by artificially generated current
• B. Damage from a fire
• C. Damage from vandalism
• D. Damage from smoke

Answer: (A)

Exclusions frame what a policy will not pay for, and the second group of exclusions includes losses caused by artificially generated electrical current. This is why damage to electrical devices from power surges or other artificial electrical disturbances is not covered—the policy deliberately excludes that type of loss. In contrast, damage from a fire, vandalism, or smoke are perils that the standard coverage can pay for, subject to the policy terms and limits, so they are not excluded by this section. If you need protection for electrical device damage from power surges, you’d look to endorsements or separate coverage outside the standard second-group exclusions.
