HS v2022 Code: 850211

About electric generating sets; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output not exceeding 75kva

HS code 850211 covers electric generating sets powered by compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines, commonly known as diesel or semi-diesel engines, with an output not exceeding 75kVA. This industry plays a crucial role in providing reliable and efficient power solutions for a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial facilities and remote locations. These generating sets are essential for ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply, particularly in areas with unstable or limited grid infrastructure.

Production process

The production of electric generating sets under HS code 850211 involves several key steps. First, the diesel or semi-diesel engine is manufactured, which includes the assembly of the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, and other internal components. The engine is then coupled with an alternator, which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generating set is then housed in a protective enclosure, which may include features such as soundproofing, vibration dampening, and weatherproofing, depending on the intended use. Finally, the generating set is tested and inspected to ensure it meets safety and performance standards before being shipped to customers.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric generating sets under HS code 850211 include diesel or semi-diesel engines, alternators, and various mechanical and electrical components such as bearings, gears, wiring, and control systems. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized manufacturing equipment, such as engine assembly lines, welding machines, and testing facilities. Raw materials like steel, copper, and plastics are also essential for the production of the various components that make up the generating sets.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 850211 is electric generating sets powered by compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines, with an output not exceeding 75kVA. These generating sets are used in a wide range of applications, including 851140 Electrical industrial and laboratory furnaces and ovens, 851410 Resistance heated furnaces and ovens, and 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases for the goods of heading 8537, not equipped with their apparatus, where reliable and efficient power supply is crucial.
