8501.64.01 - Of an output exceeding 750 kVA

This HTS category, 8501.64.01, specifically classifies AC generators, also known as alternators, designed with a substantial output capacity exceeding 750 kVA. These are powerful generating units intended for applications requiring significant electrical power generation. The key distinguishing factor is their high kVA rating, placing them at the upper end of the AC generator classification within heading 8501.

It is crucial to differentiate these generators from their sibling categories based on their output capacity. Generators classified under 8501.61.01.00 have an output not exceeding 75 kVA, while those in 8501.62.01.00 and 8501.63.01.00 fall within the ranges of 75 to 375 kVA and 375 to 750 kVA, respectively. Therefore, only generators with an output *greater than* 750 kVA will be classified here.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 8501.64.01.10 is reserved for AC generators specifically intended for use with wind-powered generating sets that are themselves classified under HTS code 8502.31.00. All other AC generators with an output exceeding 750 kVA, which do not meet this specific wind-powered application requirement, will fall under the residual "Other" subcategory.
