ELECTRIC CIRCUITS OR APPARATUS SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR USE IN EQUIPMENT FOR KILLING, STUNNING, OR GUIDING LIVING BEINGS (stationary means for catching or killing insects by electric means A01M1/22; apparatus for the destruction of noxious animals, other than insects, by electricity A01M19/00; electric traps for animals A01M23/38; scaring devices for animals A01M29/00; slaughtering or stunning by electric current A22B3/06)

Description

H05C covers electric circuits and apparatus specifically engineered for controlling living organisms through electrical means, including stunning, immobilization, containment, or lethal applications. This classification encompasses equipment such as electric fences for livestock management, animal control devices, insect electrocution traps, and specialized circuits for humane slaughter operations. The circuits typically manage high-voltage discharge, timing mechanisms, and safety features required for these applications. Related electrical equipment for general purposes is classified elsewhere; H05C specifically addresses the unique electrical engineering challenges of animal-interaction systems.
