62920.00 Regulators, induction or voltage:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. State “Regulators, induction or voltage (NMFC 62920)” on the BOL and include model/kVA rating, enclosure type (panel, rack, NEMA), and whether it’s oil-filled or dry.
  2. Choose packaging by unit size: bench units in double‑wall cartons with antistatic foam; heavy floor units bolted to a skid, blocked/braced, banded, and shrink‑wrapped.
  3. Protect connections and controls—cap terminals, immobilize knobs, use desiccant and a moisture barrier bag, and apply Keep Upright/Tilt indicators for transformer‑style designs.
  4. Send photos and exact dims to carriers for accurate quotes; if class is unclear (N/A), request an item review and note non‑hazardous status to streamline approval.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

Business Value

  • Reduces reclass and rebills by matching the precise NMFC wording and providing technical specs carriers expect for electrical controls.
  • Lowers damage risk on calibrated gear with shock control, terminal caps, and rigid skids—fewer claims and faster RMA cycles.
  • Speeds quoting and tendering: non‑hazardous status cuts paperwork and helps secure capacity with standard handling instructions.
  • Optimizes freight spend by selecting fit‑for‑purpose packaging (carton vs. crate) and consolidating small regulators on a single pallet.
