Electrical apparatus; automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS v2017 Code: 853620

About electrical apparatus; automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

hs code 853620 covers the import and export of automatic circuit breakers, a critical component in electrical systems worldwide. These devices play a vital role in protecting electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of a wide range of electrical equipment, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial facilities. The global market for automatic circuit breakers is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for reliable and efficient electrical infrastructure, particularly in developing economies.

Production process

Automatic circuit breakers are typically manufactured using a combination of mechanical and electrical engineering principles. The production process often involves the assembly of various components, including a housing, contacts, a mechanism for detecting overcurrent conditions, and a mechanism for interrupting the flow of electricity when necessary. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as precision machining and automated assembly, are commonly used to ensure consistent quality and performance.

Production inputs

The production of automatic circuit breakers requires a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the housing and contacts, insulating materials for the internal components, and specialized electrical and mechanical components. Manufacturers may also rely on advanced testing and measurement equipment, as well as skilled technicians, to ensure the reliability and safety of the final product.

Production outputs

Automatic circuit breakers produced under hs code 853620 are primarily used in electrical distribution systems, where they help to protect equipment and prevent the risk of fire or other hazards. These devices are often integrated into 853610 Electrical apparatus; for switching or protecting electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts and 853630 Electrical apparatus; electrical circuit breakers, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 volts, which are then used in a wide range of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
