Electrical apparatus; automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage exceeding 1000 volts but less than 72.5kV

HS v2022 Code: 853521

About electrical apparatus; automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage exceeding 1000 volts but less than 72.5kv

HS code 853521 covers electrical apparatus, specifically automatic circuit breakers, designed for voltages exceeding 1000 volts but less than 72.5kV. This industry plays a critical role in the power distribution and transmission infrastructure, ensuring the safe and reliable delivery of electricity to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. As the global demand for electricity continues to grow, the importance of this industry in supporting the broader economy cannot be overstated.

Production process

The production of automatic circuit breakers covered under HS code 853521 typically involves a multi-step process. Key steps include the fabrication of the housing and internal components, the assembly of the breaker mechanism, and the integration of advanced control and monitoring systems. Manufacturers often utilize precision engineering techniques, such as computer-numerical control (CNC) machining and automated assembly lines, to ensure consistent quality and efficiency.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 853521 items include high-quality metals, such as copper and steel, for the housing and internal components, as well as specialized electrical and electronic components, such as sensors, actuators, and control systems. Additionally, manufacturers may require advanced testing and inspection equipment to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is automatic circuit breakers designed for voltages exceeding 1000 volts but less than 72.5kV. These circuit breakers are essential components in power distribution and transmission systems, and are often used in conjunction with other electrical equipment, such as transformers 853590 (Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors) and switchgear 853610 (Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits (for example, switches, fuses, lightning arresters, voltage limiters, surge suppressors, plugs and other connectors, junction boxes), for a voltage exceeding 1,000 volts).
