Practical summary
Group 271 sits in the PSIC 2019 hierarchy under C Manufacturing > 27 Manufacture of Electrical Equipment. This group usually narrows the choice to a small family of classes such as Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electric generating sets and Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus. It is useful when two or three neighboring activities look similar but should not be collapsed into one code.
Administrative context
Where this code is used
This group is used when reviewers compare a short list of classes such as Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electric generating sets and Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus and need to decide which family is the closest fit. It is common in internal classification review and administrative lookup work.
Selection note
How to choose it
Use this group when the activity sits between similar classes such as Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electric generating sets and Manufacture of electricity distribution and control apparatus. The safest choice is the one whose wording matches the actual production, service or operating model most closely.
Official note
Source-backed description
This class includes the manufacture of power, distribution and specialty transformers; electric motors, generators and motor generator sets; switchgear and switchboard apparatus, relays and industrial controls. The electrical equipment manufactured in this class is for distribution level voltages. This class includes: Manufacture of distribution transformers, electric Manufacture of arc-welding transformers Manufacture of fluorescent ballasts (i.e. transformers) Manufacture of substation transformers for electric power distribution Manufacture of transmission and distribution voltage regulators Manufacture of electric motors (except internal combustion engine starting motors) Manufacture of power generators (except battery charging alternators for internal combustion engines) Manufacture of motor generator sets (except turbine generator set units) Manufacture of power circuit breakers Manufacture of control panels for electric power distribution Manufacture of electrical relays Manufacture of duct for electrical switchboard apparatus Manufacture of electric fuses Manufacture of power switching equipment Manufacture of electric power switches (except pushbutton, snap, solenoid, tumbler) Manufacture of prime mover generator sets Rewinding of armatures on a factory basis Manufacture of surge suppressors (for distribution level voltage) This class excludes: Manufacture of electronic component-type transformers and switches, see 2612; Manufacture of environmental controls and industrial process control instruments, see 2651; Manufacture of switches for electrical circuits, such as pushbutton and snap switches, see 2733; Manufacture of electric welding and soldering equipment, see 2790; Manufacture of solid state inverters, rectifiers and converters, see 2790; Manufacture of turbine-generator sets, see 2811; Manufacture of starting motors and generators for internal combustion engines, see 2930.
FAQ
What does PSIC Group 271 cover?
PSIC Group 271 clusters a smaller family of classes under Manufacture of electric motors, generators, transformers and electricity distribution and control apparatus and is useful when the business sits between closely related options.
How do I compare Group 271 with sibling groups?
Look at the parent class and the nearby sibling groups. On this page, the most relevant nearby options are 272 Manufacture of batteries and accumulators and 273 Manufacture of wiring and wiring devices.
Why is Group 271 useful for classification?
It sits at the point where a broad sector is already narrowed enough to compare a small family of similar classes before the final code choice.
