Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If power handling exceeds 20W
Wirewound variable resistors >20W capacity classify under 8533.32 subheading.
If for industrial rheostat applications with external mounting
Certain heavy-duty rheostats may fall under 8536 as electrical apparatus for switching/protection.
If calibrated as part of measuring instrument
Precision pots integral to voltmeters or sensors classify under 9033 for parts of measuring instruments.
