HS v2022 Code: 850432

About transformers; n.e.c. in item no. 8504.2, having a power handling capacity exceeding 1kva but not exceeding 16kva

HS code 850432 covers a critical component of electrical infrastructure - transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 1kVA but not exceeding 16kVA. These transformers play a vital role in the distribution and conversion of electrical power, enabling the efficient transmission of electricity across power grids and supporting a wide range of industrial, commercial, and residential applications. As a key part of the electrical equipment manufacturing industry, this code represents a significant segment of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of transformers under HS code 850432 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the core of the transformer is constructed, often using high-grade electrical steel laminations. Windings, made of copper or aluminum wire, are then wound around the core. The windings are insulated to prevent short circuits. The assembled core and windings are then placed in a metal or plastic enclosure, which is filled with insulating oil or resin to provide cooling and insulation. Finally, the transformer is tested for performance and safety before being packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of transformers under HS code 850432 include high-grade electrical steel for the core, copper or aluminum wire for the windings, insulating materials such as oil or resin, and various metal components for the enclosure. Specialized machinery, such as winding machines and core cutting equipment, are also essential inputs. Additionally, skilled labor, including electrical engineers and technicians, is required to design, assemble, and test the transformers.

Production outputs

Transformers produced under HS code 850432 are primarily used to step down or step up voltage levels in electrical power distribution systems. They are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, such as 851110 Motor vehicles, 853710 Boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases for electric control or the distribution of electricity, and 854420 Coaxial cable and other coaxial electric conductors. The output of this industry supports the broader electrical equipment manufacturing sector and the overall functioning of power grids and electrical infrastructure.
