Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for use in non-wind turbine applications like marine propulsion
Lack of specific wind-powered set designation moves it to general high-output AC generators.
If paired with other prime mover types
Generators for non-wind electric generating sets (diesel, gas, etc.) use different subheadings.
If classified as gas turbine generator components
Materially similar generators for gas turbine applications fall under Chapter 84 machinery.
