HS v2017 Code: 850163

About electric generators; ac generators, (alternators), of an output exceeding 375kva but not exceeding 750kva

hs code 850163 covers a critical segment of the electric power generation industry. These alternators, or AC generators, with an output capacity between 375 and 750 kVA, are essential components in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. They play a vital role in ensuring reliable and efficient electricity supply, supporting the broader economy and infrastructure.

Production process

The production of these alternators involves a complex manufacturing process. It typically begins with the fabrication of the stator and rotor components, which are the core elements responsible for generating the alternating current. Advanced winding techniques are employed to optimize the coil design and maximize the generator's output. Precision engineering is then used to assemble the various sub-components, including the exciter, voltage regulator, and cooling systems, into a cohesive and functional unit.

Production inputs

The production of hs code 850163 alternators requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-grade copper and steel for the windings and core, as well as advanced electronic components for the control systems. Specialized machinery, such as winding machines and precision assembly equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled technicians and engineers are needed to oversee the design, production, and quality control aspects of these generators.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850163 is the AC generator, or alternator, with a power output capacity between 375 and 750 kVA. These generators are widely used in industrial and commercial settings, such as 850161 (Electric generators; AC generators, (alternators), of an output not exceeding 75kVA), 850162 (Electric generators; AC generators, (alternators), of an output exceeding 75kVA but not exceeding 375kVA), and 850164 (Electric generators; AC generators, (alternators), of an output exceeding 750kVA). They are essential components in power plants, manufacturing facilities, and other large-scale operations that require reliable and efficient electricity generation.
