Transformers; n.e.c. in item no. 8504.2, having a power handling capacity exceeding 16kVA but not exceeding 500kVA

HS v2022 Code: 850433

About transformers; n.e.c. in item no. 8504.2, having a power handling capacity exceeding 16kva but not exceeding 500kva

HS code 850433 covers a critical component in the electrical power distribution industry - transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 16kVA but not exceeding 500kVA. These transformers play a vital role in stepping down high-voltage electricity to lower voltages suitable for commercial and residential use. They are essential infrastructure for modern power grids, enabling the efficient and safe transmission of electricity over long distances.

Production process

Transformers within this HS code are typically manufactured using a core made of high-grade electrical steel laminations. Copper or aluminum windings are wound around the core to create the primary and secondary circuits. The windings are insulated, and the entire assembly is housed in a metal or resin enclosure. Advanced production techniques involve automated winding, precision core cutting, and rigorous quality control measures to ensure consistent performance and safety.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of transformers under HS code 850433 include high-grade electrical steel, copper or aluminum wire, insulating materials such as oil or resin, and specialized manufacturing equipment like winding machines and core cutting tools. Skilled labor with expertise in electrical engineering and transformer design is also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

Transformers classified under HS code 850433 are primarily used in power distribution networks, substations, and industrial facilities. They are essential components that enable the efficient transmission and utilization of electrical power. The output of this industry is consumed by 853610 Switchgear and switchboard apparatus, 853620 Automatic circuit breakers, and 853630 Other apparatus for protecting electrical circuits, among other electrical equipment manufacturers and power infrastructure providers.
