8504.22.00 - Having a power handling capacity exceeding 650 kVA but not exceeding 10,000 kVA

This HTS classification covers liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity greater than 650 kVA and up to and including 10,000 kVA. These transformers utilize a liquid insulating medium, such as oil, to manage heat and provide electrical isolation. They are typically employed in industrial settings, power distribution systems, and substations where significant voltage transformation and power handling are required. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is their substantial power rating, distinguishing them from smaller capacity transformers.

This category is specifically differentiated from its siblings by its defined power range. HTS code 8504.21.00 encompasses liquid dielectric transformers with a power handling capacity not exceeding 650 kVA, which are generally smaller and used for less demanding applications. Conversely, HTS code 8504.23.00 covers liquid dielectric transformers exceeding 10,000 kVA, representing the largest and most powerful units.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist based on more specific power handling capacities. HTS code 8504.22.00.40 further refines the scope to liquid dielectric transformers with a capacity exceeding 650 kVA but not exceeding 2,500 kVA. The subcategory 8504.22.00.80 is designated for transformers with a capacity exceeding 2,500 kVA but not exceeding 10,000 kVA. These subcategories allow for more granular classification of equipment based on precise power output requirements.
