About electrical capacitors; fixed, designed for use in 50/60 hz circuits and having a reactive power handling capacity of not less than 0.5 kvar (power capacitors)

HS code 853210 covers electrical capacitors that are fixed in design and intended for use in 50/60 Hz circuits. These power capacitors have a reactive power handling capacity of at least 0.5 kvar. They play a crucial role in power distribution systems, helping to improve power factor, reduce energy losses, and ensure efficient electricity transmission and distribution. As a key component in electrical infrastructure, the 853210 industry is integral to the broader economy and the reliable supply of electricity.

Production process

The production of fixed power capacitors classified under HS code 853210 typically involves several key steps. First, the capacitor elements are manufactured by layering thin films of metal, such as aluminum or metallized plastic, with a dielectric material in between. These elements are then assembled into a housing, often made of plastic or metal, and sealed. Additional components like terminals and mounting brackets may be added. The finished capacitors undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet performance and safety standards before being distributed for use in electrical systems.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 853210 industry include the raw materials for the capacitor elements, such as aluminum foil, metallized plastic films, and dielectric materials like polypropylene or polyester. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as winding machines, assembly lines, and testing apparatus, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and adhering to quality control protocols.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 853210 industry is fixed power capacitors designed for use in 50/60 Hz circuits. These capacitors are then consumed by a variety of other industries, including 853610 (Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors) for power distribution and conditioning, 851410 (Industrial or laboratory electric furnaces and ovens (including those functioning by induction or dielectric loss)) for industrial heating applications, and 851220 Transmission apparatus for radio-telephony, radio-telegraphy, radio-broadcasting or television, whether or not incorporating reception apparatus or sound recording or reproducing apparatus for electronics and telecommunications equipment.
