Insulated electric conductors; for a voltage exceeding 1000 volts

HS v2022 Code: 854460

About insulated electric conductors; for a voltage exceeding 1000 volts

HS code 854460 covers insulated electric conductors designed for use in high-voltage applications, typically exceeding 1000 volts. This industry plays a crucial role in the power transmission and distribution infrastructure, enabling the safe and efficient transfer of electricity over long distances. As the global demand for electricity continues to rise, the importance of this industry in supporting the broader energy sector and economic development cannot be overstated.

Production process

The production of insulated electric conductors under HS code 854460 involves several key steps. First, the conductive core, often made of copper or aluminum, is extruded or drawn to the desired size and shape. This core is then coated with one or more layers of insulating material, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), to provide the necessary voltage protection. The insulated conductor may then undergo additional processing, such as shielding or armoring, to enhance its durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of insulated electric conductors under HS code 854460 include conductive metals (copper or aluminum), insulating materials (polyethylene, PVC, XLPE), and specialized machinery for extrusion, drawing, and insulation coating. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced testing and quality control equipment to ensure the safety and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 854460 is insulated electric conductors suitable for high-voltage applications. These conductors are essential components in the construction and maintenance of power transmission and distribution networks, as well as in various industrial and commercial applications. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by 853610 Electrical switches for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, 853620 Electrical switches for a voltage exceeding 1,000 V, and 853690 Electrical apparatus for switching or protecting electrical circuits, or for making connections to or in electrical circuits, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V, not elsewhere specified or included.
