Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus

NACE code 27.1 covers the manufacture of a wide range of electrical equipment essential for power generation, transmission, and distribution. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader energy and infrastructure sectors, enabling the reliable supply of electricity to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. The products manufactured under this code are fundamental components of modern power grids and electrical systems, contributing to the efficient and sustainable delivery of electricity across the global economy.

The production of electric motors, generators, transformers, and electricity distribution and control apparatus typically involves a combination of metalworking, winding, and assembly techniques. Key steps include the fabrication of metal components, the winding of copper or aluminum coils, the assembly of core parts, and the integration of electronic control systems. Advanced manufacturing processes, such as computer numerical control (CNC) machining and automated winding, are often employed to ensure precision, consistency, and efficiency in the production of these specialized electrical products.

The main inputs required for this industry include ferrous and non-ferrous metals, such as steel, copper, and aluminum, as well as insulating materials, electronic components, and specialized machinery. Manufacturers in this sector also rely on a skilled workforce capable of operating complex production equipment and adhering to rigorous quality standards. Access to reliable and affordable energy sources is another critical input, as the manufacture of electrical equipment can be energy-intensive.

The primary outputs of NACE code 27.1 are electric motors, generators, transformers, and a wide range of electricity distribution and control apparatus. These products are then consumed by various other industries, including 35.1 Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply, 42.2 Construction of utility projects, and 33.1 Repair of fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment. The electrical equipment manufactured under this code is essential for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity, supporting the broader energy infrastructure and enabling the functioning of modern economies.
