Manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers

NACE v2.0 Code: C27.11

About manufacture of electric motors, generators and transformers

NACE code 27.11 covers the manufacture of electric motors, generators, and transformers, which are essential components in a wide range of industries. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing the power generation and distribution equipment necessary for the functioning of various sectors, from manufacturing and construction to transportation and renewable energy.

Production process

The production of electric motors, generators, and transformers typically involves a series of specialized manufacturing processes. This includes the winding of copper or aluminum coils, the assembly of stators and rotors, the installation of bearings and shafts, and the integration of electronic control systems. Advanced techniques such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining are often employed to ensure precision and efficiency in the manufacturing process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include raw materials such as copper, aluminum, and steel, as well as specialized components like bearings, insulation materials, and electronic control systems. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced machinery and equipment, including winding machines, assembly lines, and testing equipment, to ensure the quality and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are electric motors, generators, and transformers, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These include 27.51 Manufacture of electric domestic appliances, 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines, 35.11 Production of electricity, and 42.22 Construction of utility projects for electricity and telecommunications, among others. The products manufactured under NACE code 27.11 are essential for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, enabling the functioning of various economic activities.
