Should I use the ID 6807 or the full string for the category?

You can use either the numeric ID 6807 or the full category path. The ID is preferred because it is language-independent and less prone to formatting errors.

Is it mandatory to provide the google_product_category for my panels?

It is optional. However, if you omit it, Google will assign a category automatically, which may be less accurate than if you specify it yourself.

Can I use my internal product_type for this classification?

No, product_type is a free-form field for your internal organization and does not replace the requirement for a Google-defined category.

Understanding Category 6807: Circuit Breaker Panels

The google_product_category 6807 corresponds to Circuit Breaker Panels. This specific category is located within the Google taxonomy under Hardware > Power & Electrical Supplies > Circuit Breaker Panels and serves as the most granular classification available for this hardware.

This category is intended for load centers, main breaker panels, and power distribution distribution boards. Examples from the US market include indoor and outdoor main lug load centers, plug-on neutral breaker centers, and specialized marine or toggle circuit breaker panels used for AC and DC power distribution. These products act as the primary interface for managing and protecting electrical circuits in residential or commercial buildings.

Products that do not belong in this category include individual breakers, electrical switches, or wall plates, which should be mapped to their own respective categories like Electrical Switches or Wall Plates & Covers. Additionally, power conversion equipment such as Power Inverters, Power Converters, or Voltage Transformers & Regulators must be categorized under their specific sections to ensure correct attribute expectations and policy application.

Since this is the most specific level in the taxonomy, there are no subcategories to consider.

To include this in your feed, use either the ID 6807 or the full path: Hardware > Power & Electrical Supplies > Circuit Breaker Panels. Providing this value helps Google process your items accurately, as this attribute is optional but critical for avoiding broad or incorrect automated categorization.
