About electric generating sets; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines (diesel or semi-diesel engines), of an output exceeding 375kva

HS code 850213 covers electric generating sets powered by compression-ignition internal combustion piston engines, commonly known as diesel or semi-diesel engines, with an output exceeding 375kVA. This industry plays a crucial role in providing reliable and efficient power generation solutions for a wide range of applications, from industrial facilities to remote off-grid locations. These high-capacity generators are essential for supporting critical infrastructure, manufacturing processes, and emergency backup power systems, making them a vital component of the broader energy and power sector.

Production process

The production of electric generating sets under HS code 850213 involves several key steps. First, the compression-ignition engine is manufactured, which typically includes the cylinder block, crankshaft, pistons, and other internal components. The engine is then paired with an alternator or generator that converts the mechanical energy into electrical power. The entire assembly is then mounted on a sturdy frame, often with additional features such as fuel tanks, cooling systems, and control panels. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the reliability and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electric generating sets under HS code 850213 include the compression-ignition engines, alternators or generators, steel or aluminum frames, fuel tanks, cooling systems, and various electronic components for control and monitoring. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of specialized tools, machinery, and skilled labor to assemble and test the final products. The availability of high-quality raw materials, such as 720810 Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, of a width of 600 mm or more, hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated and 850300 Parts suitable for use solely or principally with the machines of heading 8501 or 8502, is crucial for the efficient and cost-effective production of these generators.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 850213 is high-capacity electric generating sets powered by compression-ignition engines. These generators are primarily used in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications where reliable and continuous power supply is essential. The output of these generators may be consumed by various other industries, such as 271112 Propane, liquefied, 841290 Parts of the machinery of heading 8412, and 842199 Parts of machinery for filtering or purifying liquids or gases, which rely on consistent and high-quality power sources for their operations.
