8504.33.00.40 - Having a power handling capacity exceeding 50 kVA but not exceeding 500 kVA

This HTS category, 8504.33.00.40, specifically classifies static transformers with a power handling capacity ranging from over 50 kVA up to and including 500 kVA. These transformers are crucial components in electrical systems, stepping voltage up or down for efficient power distribution and utilization. They are designed for applications requiring moderate to high power capacities, bridging the gap between smaller distribution transformers and very large power transformers.

This subcategory is distinct from its sibling, 8504.33.00.20, which covers transformers with a power handling capacity exceeding 16 kVA but not exceeding 50 kVA. The key differentiator is the upper limit of power capacity; this node encompasses transformers that are more powerful than those classified under the sibling category, specifically those operating above 50 kVA.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Classification within 8504.33.00.40 is primarily determined by the stated power handling capacity as the decisive factor. This ensures accurate and consistent categorization of transformers within this specific power range.
