HS v2022 Code: 850162

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

HS code 850162 covers a critical segment of the electric power generation industry, focusing on alternating current (AC) generators with an output capacity ranging from 75 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) to 375 kVA. These generators play a vital role in powering a wide range of industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications, contributing significantly to the overall energy needs of the global economy.

Production process

The production of AC generators within the 850162 classification typically involves a multi-step process. Key steps include the manufacturing of the rotor and stator components, the winding of the copper coils, the assembly of the generator housing and cooling systems, and the final testing and quality control procedures. Automated and computer-controlled manufacturing techniques are often employed to ensure precision, efficiency, and consistency in the production process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of AC generators under HS code 850162 include high-quality copper wire for the windings, specialized steel alloys for the rotor and stator components, and advanced cooling systems such as fans or water-cooling mechanisms. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment, such as winding machines, assembly lines, and testing equipment, to ensure the generators meet rigorous performance and safety standards.

Production outputs
