Which code does this activity belong in?
Switchgear and switchboard apparatus manufacturing covers establishments that produce equipment for controlling and protecting electrical power distribution systems, including circuit breakers, fuses, power switches, and electric control panels. The boundary with motor and generator manufacturing lies in function: this code covers switching and control apparatus, while generators and motors are classified separately in motor and generator manufacturing. Relay and industrial control manufacturing also operates at the control level but focuses on relays and motor starters, whereas switchgear manufacturing emphasizes power switching equipment and distribution apparatus. Transformer manufacturing is distinct because transformers change voltage levels rather than switch or distribute power.
