HS v2022 Code: 850212

About electric generating sets; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 75kva but not exceeding 375kva

HS code 850212 covers a crucial segment of the power generation industry, encompassing electric generating sets equipped with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines) with an output exceeding 75kVA but not exceeding 375kVA. These generators play a vital role in providing reliable and efficient power solutions for a wide range of applications, from industrial facilities to remote off-grid locations, making them an essential component of the broader energy infrastructure.

Production process

The production of electric generating sets under HS code 850212 involves a multi-step process. Manufacturers begin by assembling the engine, which typically includes a crankshaft, pistons, and a cylinder block. The engine is then paired with an alternator, which converts the mechanical energy generated by the engine into electrical energy. The entire assembly is then mounted on a sturdy frame, often with additional features such as fuel tanks, control panels, and sound-dampening enclosures to enhance the generator's performance and versatility.

Production inputs

The production of electric generating sets under HS code 850212 requires a range of inputs, including 840820 (compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines)) as the primary power source, as well as alternators, frames, fuel tanks, and control systems. Manufacturers also rely on various raw materials, such as steel, copper, and electronic components, to construct the generator's components. Additionally, specialized machinery and tools are necessary for the assembly and testing of these generating sets.

Production outputs

Electric generating sets classified under HS code 850212 are primarily used to provide backup or supplementary power in a variety of settings, including industrial facilities, construction sites, and remote locations. These generators may be consumed by industries such as 271011 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; waste oils, 271019 Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, other than crude; preparations not elsewhere specified or included, containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the preparations; other, and 271320 Petroleum bitumen.
