Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
5201-75 Electric power or transmission equipment:
				Manufacturing or assembly
Applies to the manufacture or assembly of industrial
				electrical transmission equipment and other large electrical equipment used in
				producing or transmitting electrical power.
Equipment includes, but is not limited to:
* Transformers - Equipment that reduces the level of
				voltage;
* Industrial switchboards, switches, switchboard apparatuses,
				and power switching devices and systems (switching equipment moves electricity
				from incoming lines to outgoing lines);
* Industrial circuit breakers - Automatic switches that prevent
				electrical circuit overload;
* Power invertors - Equipment that changes direct current (DC)
				to alternating current (AC);
* Solar panels and photovoltaic (PV) inverters used in solar
				power production (PV inverters change DC current out of a photovoltaic solar
				panel into AC current).
Subclassification 5201-75 excludes:
* Worker hours engaged in the installation, service or repair
				of equipment away from shop or plant which are reported separately in the
				applicable classification. If records are not maintained for dividing worker
				hours between classifications, you must report these hours in the highest rated
				classification as described in WAC
				296-17-31017(4);
* Firms engaged in manufacturing the smaller, nonindustrial
				switches and breakers found in the precision electrical instruments classified
				in
3602
.
5201-76 Electric toasters, frying pans, wire harnesses,
				vacuum cleaners, electrical appliances, N.O.C: Manufacturing or
				assembly
Applies to the manufacture or assembly of household electrical
				appliances. This includes the assembly of component parts and casings with
				small hand tools such as drills, screwdrivers, rivet guns, and soldering or
				brazing tools. Electrical appliances include, but are not limited to,
				electric:
* Can openers;
* Clothes irons;
* Frying pans;
* Mixers and blenders;
* Shavers;
* Toasters;
* Vacuum cleaners (including central vacuum systems);
* Waffle irons;
* Wire harnesses (a configuration of wires inside an appliance
				or vehicle);
* And other counter top electrical appliances which are not
				covered by another classification (N.O.C.).
Subclassification 5201-76 excludes:
* Worker hours engaged in installation, services, or repair of
				household appliances away from the shop or plant that are reported separately
				in classification
0607
. If records are not maintained for dividing
				worker hours between classifications, you must report these hours in the
				highest rated classification as described in WAC
				296-17-31017(4);
* Firms manufacturing or assembling larger household appliances
				such as electric ranges, washing machines and refrigerators, which are
				classified in
3402
;
* Firms manufacturing or assembling electric cords, radio
				cable, and ignitions which are classified in
3602
.
5201-78 Electric motors, generators, alternators,
				starters, convertors, solenoids and servomotors: Manufacturing or assembly
				including repair
Applies to manufacture or assembly of:
* Electric motors (convert electrical energy into mechanical
				energy);
* Generators (convert mechanical energy to DC electrical
				current);
* Alternators (convert mechanical energy to AC electrical
				current);
* Starters (electric motors used to initiate an engine's
				operation under its own power);
* Convertors (change electricity from one voltage to
				another);
* Solenoids (switches that control the flow of electrical
				current);
* Servomotors (electrical motors used to help control a
				mechanical device) of all sizes and horsepower.
Note: Electric motor manufacturing requiring machining of metal
				parts is reported in classification 3402.
Subclassification 5201-78 excludes:
Worker hours engaged in the installation, hook-up, service or
				repair of equipment away from the shop or plant which are to be reported
				separately in the applicable classification. If records are not maintained for
				dividing worker hours between classifications, you must report these hours in
				the highest rated classification as described in WAC
				296-17-31017(4).
