Electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS v2022 Code: 853610

About electrical apparatus; fuses, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts

HS code 853610 covers the import and export of electrical fuses designed for use in circuits with voltages up to 1000 volts. These fuses play a critical role in electrical safety, protecting circuits and equipment from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuits. The fuse industry is an essential component of the broader electrical and electronics sector, supporting the safe and reliable operation of a wide range of products and systems across numerous industries.

Production process

The production of electrical fuses typically involves several key steps. First, the fuse element, often made of a metal alloy, is precisely cut and shaped to the required specifications. This fuse element is then encased within a protective housing, which may be constructed from ceramic, glass, or other insulating materials. The assembly is then tested to ensure it meets safety and performance standards before being packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of electrical fuses include the raw materials for the fuse element, such as copper, silver, or other metal alloys, as well as the insulating materials for the fuse housing. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as precision cutting tools and assembly machinery, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of carrying out the intricate production processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 853610 is electrical fuses, which are used to protect a wide range of electrical circuits and equipment. These fuses may be incorporated into 853620 Electrical apparatus; automatic circuit breakers, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, 853630 Electrical apparatus; electrical switchgear and switchboards, for a voltage not exceeding 1000 volts, and other electrical distribution and control systems. The fuse industry's outputs support the safe and reliable operation of a diverse range of products and industries, from consumer electronics to industrial machinery.
