About electrical capacitors; fixed, designed for use in 50/60 hz circuits and having a reactive power handling capacity of not less than 0.5 kvar (power capacitors)

hs code 853210 covers a crucial component in electrical systems - fixed electrical capacitors. These capacitors play a vital role in 50/60 Hz circuits, providing reactive power handling capabilities of at least 0.5 kvar. They are essential for maintaining power quality, improving power factor, and enabling efficient energy transmission across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

Production process

The production of fixed electrical capacitors covered under hs code 853210 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the dielectric material, often made of film or ceramic, is prepared and cut into the desired shapes. Conductive plates or electrodes are then assembled with the dielectric layers. The capacitor is then encased, often in a metal or plastic housing, to protect the internal components. Finally, the capacitor undergoes testing and quality control measures to ensure it meets the required specifications for use in 50/60 Hz circuits.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of fixed electrical capacitors under hs code 853210 include dielectric materials such as film or ceramic, conductive plates or electrodes, and housing materials like metal or plastic. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment for the various production steps, as well as testing and quality control instruments, are essential inputs for this industry.
