30 kVA Single-Phase Pole-Mount Distribution Transformer

This oil-immersed, single-phase transformer is designed for pole mounting in residential and rural electrical distribution systems, with a power handling capacity of 30 kVA at 7.2/124.7 kV primary voltage. It steps down medium voltage to 120/240V secondary for homes and small loads, falling under HTS 8504.33.0020 due to its capacity exceeding 16 kVA but not 50 kVA. Features include lightning arrestors and temperature protection for outdoor reliability.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

8504.32.00Higher: 37.4% vs 36.6%

If capacity does not exceed 16 kVA

Lower power handling shifts to the 1 kVA to 16 kVA subheading in the same transformer category.

8504.34.00Same rate: 36.6%

If capacity exceeds 50 kVA up to 500 kVA

Higher capacity transformers fall into the next power band within heading 8504.

8504.40.70Lower: 35% vs 36.6%

If sold as static converter rather than pure transformer

Units with integrated rectifiers or frequency converters are classified under static converters, not transformers.
