About heading 8502

Electric generating sets and rotary converters

Heading 8502 covers electric generating sets and electric rotary converters. It splits generating sets by engine or power source: compression-ignition engines, spark-ignition engines, and other generating sets such as wind or steam turbine. Output in kVA decides several subheadings, and rotary converters are classified separately.
