HS v2017 Code: 850162

About electric generators; ac generators, (alternators), of an output exceeding 75kva but not exceeding 375kva

hs code 850162 covers a critical segment of the electric power generation industry. These alternators, or AC generators, play a vital role in providing electricity to a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. With an output range of 75kVA to 375kVA, these generators are essential for powering large facilities, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure projects across various sectors of the economy.

Production process

The production of hs code 850162 alternators involves several key steps. First, the rotor and stator components are precisely engineered and assembled. The rotor, which generates the magnetic field, is typically made from high-quality steel laminations. The stator, which houses the windings that produce the electrical current, is also carefully constructed. These components are then integrated with a robust housing and cooling system to ensure efficient and reliable operation. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-controlled winding and precision balancing, help ensure the generators meet strict performance and safety standards.

Production inputs

The production of hs code 850162 alternators requires several critical inputs. High-grade steel, copper windings, and specialized insulating materials are the primary raw materials. Sophisticated machinery, including computer-controlled winding equipment and precision balancing tools, are essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled technicians and engineers are needed to design, assemble, and test these generators to ensure they meet industry standards and customer requirements.
