This definition does not apply to those asynchro nous m otors of which the torque conti nually
decreases with increase in s peed.
NOTE In addition to the steady-state asynchronous torques, harmonic synchronous torques, which are a function
of rotor load angle, will be present at specific speeds.
At such speeds, the accelerating torque may be negative for some rotor load angles.
Experience and calculation show this to be an unstable operating condition ar1d therefore harmonic synchronous

Duty t y pe 510 - Dut y wit h discrete constant loads a n d speeds
A duty consisti n g of a s pecific n u m ber of discrete values of load (or equivalent loading) and if
applicable, s peed, each load/speed com bination being maintai ned for s uffi cient ti me to allow
the machine to reach thermal equilibri u m , see Figure 1 0. The m i n i m u m load within a duty

The a ppropriate abbreviati on is S1 0, followed by the per u nit quantities p/11t for the res pective
load and its duratio n a nd the per u n it quantity TL for the relative thermal life expectancy of the
i nsulati on syste m . The reference val ue for the therm al life expectancy is the thermal life
expectancy at rati n g for conti n uous r unning duty and permissible l i m its of tem perature rise
based on duty type S 1 . For a tim e de-energized and at rest, the load shall be i n dicated by the

The v a l ue of TL should be rounded off to the nearest multiple of 0,05. Advice concerni ng the

For this duty type a constant load appropriately selected and based on duty type S1 shall be
taken as the refere nce value ( 'Pref' in Figure 1 0) for the discrete loads.
NOTE The discrete values of load will usually be equivalent loading based on integration over a period of time. lt
not necessary that each load cycle be exactly the same, only that each load within a cycle be maintained for
sufficient time for thermal equilibrium to be reached, and that each load cycle be capable of being integrated to
give the same relative thermal life expectancy.

Three-phase a . c. motors shall be suitable for operation on a three-phase voltage system

having a negative-sequence component not exceeding 1 % of the positive-sequence
component over a long period, or 1 , 5% for a short period not exceeding a few minutes, and a
zero-sequence corn ponent not exceeding 1 % of the positive-sequence component.
S hould the limiting values of the HVF and of the negative-sequence and zero-sequence
co m ponents occur sim ultaneously in service at the rated load, this shall not lead to any
harmful temperature in the motor and it is recommended that the resulting excess
temperature rise related to the limits specified in this standard should be not more than
approximately 1 0 K .
NOTE In the vicinity of large single-phase loads (e.g. induction furnaces), and in rural areas particularly on mixed
industrial and domestic systems, supplies may be distorted beyond the limits set out above. Special arrangements
will then be necessary.
AC motors supplied from static converters have to tolerate higher harmonic contents
of the supply voltage, see I EC 60034- 1 7 for the case of cage motors within the scope of
I EC 60034- 1 2 .

7.2.2
AC generators
Three-phase a.c. generators shall be suitable for supplying circuits which, when supplied by a
system of balanced and sinusoidal voltages:
a) result in currents not exceeding a harmonic current factor (HCF) of 0, 05, and
b) result in a system of currents where neither the ngative-sequence component nor the
zero-sequence component exceed 5% of the positive-sequence component.
The HCF shall be computed by using the following formula:
HCF =

where
in is the ratio of the harmonic current In to the rated current IN ;

is the order of harmonic;

Should the limits of deformation and imbalance occur simultaneously in service at the rated

that the resulting excess temperature rise related to the limits specified in this standard
should be not more than approxim ately 1 0 K .

consists of one, two or th ree digits indicati ng the series i n ductance to be added

Motors with rated output not exceeding 5 kW, instead of being tied to , a s pecific type pf static

external i n ducta nce, provided that the rated form factor for which the m otor is desig ned will .
not be surpassed a n d that the ins ulation level of the m otor armat u re circuit is a ppropriate for
the rated altern ati n g voltage at the i n put termi nals of th e static power converter.
I n all cases, the u n dulation of the static power converter output c urrent is ass umed to be so

greater devi ati ons from its performance at rated voltage a n d frequency than in zone A.
Tem perature rises m ay be higher than at rated voltage a n d frequency a n d most likely wi ll be
higher tha n those i n zone A. Extended operati on at the peri m eter of zon e lil is n0t
recom mended.
NOTE 1 In practical applications and operating conditions, a machine will sometimes be requires to opete
outside the perimeter of zone A. Such excursions should be limited in value, duration and frequency of occurrence.
Corrective measures should be taken, where practical, within a reasonable time, for example, a reduction in output.
Such action may avoid a reduction in machine life from temperature effects.
NOTE 2 The temperature-rise limits or temperature limits in accordance with this standard apply at the ratmt
point and may be progressively exceeded as the operating point moves away from the rating point. For conditions
at the extreme boundaries of zone A, the temperatu-re rises and temperatures typically exceed the limits specified
in this standard by approximately 1 0 K .
NOTE 3 An a.c. motor will start at the lower limit of voltage only if its starting torque is adequately matched to the
counter-:orque of the load. but this is not a requirement of this clause. For starting performance of design N
motors , see IEC 60034-12 .

By agreement, the negative-sequence component of the system of currents m ay be m easured

i nstead of the negative-seque nce compo nent of the system of voltages. The negative
sequence component of the system of currents shall not exceed 2 , 5 % of the positive
seque nce component.
8.3.2
Tem perat u re of m ach ine before test
If the tem perature of a wi nding is to be determ i ned from the increase of resistance, the i n itial
shall n ot differ from t h e coolant b y m o r e than 2 K .
wi ndi n g temperature
When a machine is to be tested o n a short-ti m e rati n g ( d uty type 52) its temperature at the
begi n n i n g of the thermal test shall be within 5 K of the tem perature of the coolant.
8.3. 3
Tem perature of coolant
A machine m ay be tested at any convenient value of coolant tem perature. See Tabl e 1 1 (for
indirect cooled windi n gs) or Table 1 4 (for direct cooled win di n gs).
8.3.4
M ea s u rement of coolant temperature d uring test
The value to be a dopted for the te m perature of a coolant d u ri n g a test shall be the mean of
the readings of the temperature detectors taken at equal i ntervals of ti m e during the last
quarter of the d uration of the test. To reduce errors due to the ti m e Jag of the change of
tem perature of l arge m achi nes fol l owin g variations i n the temperature of the coolant, all
reasonable precautions shall be taken to m i n i m ize such variations.
8.3. 4.1
O pen m ach i nes o r closed mach ines without heat exchangers (cooled by

8.3. 4.3
C losed mac h i n es w ith mac h i ne-mou nted o r i nternal heat ex changers
The tem perature of the prim ary coola nt shall be measu red wh ere it enters the machine. The
temperature of th e secondary cool a nt shall be measured wh ere it enters the h eat exchanger.
T em peratu re rise of a part of a m ac h i ne
8.4
The tem perature rise, fl. B, of a part of a machine is the difference between the te m perature of
that part m easured by the a ppropriate m ethod in accorda nce with . 8.5, and the tem perature
of the coolant m easured in accord ance with 8 . 3 . 4 .
For com parison with the lim its of tem perature rise (see Ta ble 7 or 8 ) or of tem perature (see
Table 12) , when possi ble, the tem perature shall be meas u red i m m ediately before the m achine
is s h ut down at the end of the thermal test, as descri bed i n 8.7.
When this is not poss i ble, for ex a m ple, when using the direct m easurement of resistance
method, see 8 . 6 . 2 .3.
For m achi nes tested on actual periodic duty (d uty types S3 to S8) the tem perature at the end
of the test shall be taken as that at the middle of the period causing the greatest heati ng i n
the last cycle of o perati on ( but see also 8. 7.3).
Methods o f measu re m e n t of temperature
8.5
8.5. 1
G en eral
Th ree m ethods of m eas uring the tem perature of wi ndi ngs and oth er parts are recognized:
-
resistance m ethod;
em bedded tem perature detector ( ETD) method;
thermometer m etho d .
Different methods s h all n ot be u s e d as a ch eck u pon one a nother.

For indirect testing see I EC 61986.
8.5.2
Resistance m ethod
The tem perature of the wi ndings is dete rmined from the i ncrease of the resistance of the
wi ndi ngs.
8.5.3
Em bedded tem peratu re detector (ETD) method
The tem perature is determined by mea ns of tem perature detectors (e.g. resistance
thermometers , thermocouples or semi-cond uctor negative coefficient detectors) built i nto the
machine d u ring construction, at points which a re inaccessible after the machine is com pleted.
8.5.4
Thermometer m ethod
The tem peratu re is determined by thermometers a pplied to accessible surfaces of the

com pleted m achine. The term 'th ermometer' i ncl udes n ot only bul b-thermometers, but also
non-em bedded thermocouples and resistance thermom eters. When bulb-thermometers are
used in places where there is a strong varyi ng or m oving m agneti c (ield, alcohol
therm ometers shall be used in prefere nce to mercury therm ometers .

8.6. 1
Dete r m i nation of wind ing temperature

C hoice of method
In general , fo r m easuring the tem perature of the wi ndings of a m achine, the resista nce
method in accorda nce with 8 . 5. 1 shall be a pplied (but see also 8.6.2. 3 . 3 ) .
For a . c . stator wi ndi ngs of m achines having a rated output o f 5 000 kW (or kVA) or m ore the
ETD method sh all be used.
For a . c. machi nes having a rated output less tha n 5 000 kW (or kVA) but greater than 200 kW
(or kVA) the m a n ufactu rer s hall choose either the resistance or the ETD method, unless
otherwise agreed .
For a . c . machi nes having a rated output less than o r equal to 2 0 0 kW (or kVA) the
man ufacturer shall ch oose the di rect measurement version or the su perposition version of
the resista nce m ethod (see 8.6. 2. 1 ) , u n l ess otherwise agreed (but see also below).
For machi nes having a rated output less than or equal to 600 W (or VA), when the windings
are non-u niform o r severe co m pl i cati ons are involved in m a king the necessary connecti ons,
the tem perature may be determ ined by m ea ns of thermometers. Tem perature rise li mits in
accordance with Table 7, item 1 d for resistance method shall a pply.
The thermometer m ethod is recogn ized in the fol lowi ng cases:
a) when it is not practicable .to determ i ne the te m perature rise by the resistance method as,
for exam ple, with low-resista nce com m utati ng coils a n d com pensati n g wi ndi ngs and, i n
genera l , i n t h e case o f low-resistance wi ndings, especi ally when the resista nce of joi nts
a n d connections forms a consi derable proportion of the total resista nce;
b) single l ayer wi n d i n gs, rotati ng or stationary;

c) during routi ne tests on m achin es m a n ufactured i n la rge n u m bers.
For a . c . stator wi ndings having only one coi l-side per slot, the ETD method shall not be used
for ve rifying complia nce with this standard: the resista nce m ethod shall be used.
NOTE For checking the temperature of sucti,wlndings in service, an embedded detector at the bottom of the slot
is of little value because it gives mainly the temperature of the iron core. A detector placed between the coil and
the wedge will follow the temperature of the winding much more closely and is, therefore, better for checks in
service. Because the temperature there may be rather low the relation between it and the temperature measured
by the resistance method should be determined by a thermal test .
For other windi n gs having one coil-side per slot and for end wi ndings the ETD m ethod shall
not be used for verifying compliance with this sta ndard.
For wi ndi ngs of arm atures h aving comm ytators and for field windings the resistance. m ethod
and the therm o m eter m ethod are recogn ized. The resista nce method is preferred but for
statio nary fi eld wi ndi ngs of d . c. m achi nes having m ore than one l ayer the ETD method may be
used.

where
81 is the tem perature (0C} of the winding (cold) at the moment of the i n itial resistance

is the tem perature (C) of the wi nding at the end of the thermal test;
88 is the temperature (0C} of the coolant a.t the end of the thermal test;
R 1 is the resistance of the winding at tem perature 81 (cold);
R2 is the resistance of the winding at the end of the thermal test;
k is the reci procal of the tem perature coefficient of resistance at 0 oc of the conductor
material.
For copper

additional readings shall be ta ken at intervals of approxim ately 1 min u ntil these readi n gs
have beg u n a disti nct decline from their m axi m u m value. A curve of these readin gs shall be
plotted as a functi on of ti m e and extrapolated to the appropriate tim e i nterval of Table 5 for
the rated output of the machine. A semi-logarith m i c plot is recom m ended where temperature
is plotted on the logarith m ic scal e . The value of tem perature thus obtained shall be
considered as the tem perature at s h utdown. If successive m easurements show increasing
tem peratures after s h utdown the highest value shall be taken.
If a resista nce reading cannot be m ade until after twi ce the tim e i nterval specified i n J"able 5,
this m ethod of correction shall only be used by a greement.
8.6. 2.3.4 W i n d i n g s w ith one coi l-side per slot
For machines with one coil-side per slot, the resistance m ethod by di rect measurement may
be used if the machine comes to rest within the time i nterval specified in Table 5. If the

bearings with pressed-in bushings and for ball and roller bearings with an im'!ide diameter of up to 1 50 mm, the
temperature difference between points A and B may be assumed to be negligible. In the case of larger bearings,
the temperature difference between measuring points A and B is approximately 15 K .

NOTE 2 If temperature rise is to be measured above the temperature of the water where it enters the cooler,
the effect of altitude on the temperature difference between air and water should strictly be allowed for.

Withstand voltage test
A test voltage, as s pecified below, shall be applied between the wi ndi ngs under test and the
frame of the m achi ne, with the core and the windi ngs not under test con nected to the fra me. lt
shall be a ppli e d only to a new and completed m achine with all its parts i n place u nder
co nditions equival ent to normal wo rking conditions and shall be carried out at the
man ufacturer's works or after erection on site. When a thermal test is carried out, the
withstand voltage test shall be carried out i m m ediately after that test.
In the case of polyphase m achi nes with rated voltage above 1 kV having both ends of each
phase individually access i ble, the test voltage shall be applied between each phase and the
frame, with the core and the other phases and wi ndi ngs not under test con nected to the
frame.
Except as stated below, the test voltage shall be of power freque ncy a n d as near as possible
to a sine wave form. The fi nal value of the voltage shall be in accorda nce with Table 1 6.
However , for m achi n es with a rated voltage 6 kV or greater, when power frequ ency equi pment
is n ot available, then by agreement a d.c. test may be carri e d out at a voltage 1 , 7 times the
r . m .s. value given in Table 1 6.
NOTE lt is recogni<:ed that, during a d.c. test. the surface potential distribution along the end winding insulation
and the ageing mechanisms are different from those occurring during an a .c. test.
The test shall be comm enced at a voltage not exceedi ng h alf of the full test v oltage. The
voltage shall then be i ncreased to the full value, steadily or i n steps of not m ore than 5 % of
the full value, the ti m e allowed for the voltage increase from half to full value being not less
than 1 0 s. The full test v oltage shall then be maintained for 1 m i n in a ccordance with the
value as specified in Table 1 6. There shall be no fail ure (see I EC 60060- 1 ) d u ri n g this period.
During the routi ne testi ng of qua ntity produced machi nes up to 200 kW (or kVA) and rated for
UN s; 1 kV, the 1 m i n test may be repl aced by a test of 1 s at 1 20 % of the test voltage
specified in Table 1 6.
'
The withstand voltage test at full voltage made on the wi n di ngs on acceptance shall not be
repeated. If, however, a second test is made at the request of the purchaser, after further
dryi ng if consi dered necessary, the test voltage shall be 80 % of the voltage s pecified i n
Table 1 6.
To determi n e the test v oltage from Table 1 6 for d . c . m otors s upplied by static power
converters, the di rect v oltage of the m otor or the r. m . s . phase-to-phase val ue of the rated
alternatin g voltage at the i n put terminals of the static power converter shall be used,
whichever is the greater.
Com pletely rewound wi ndi n gs shall be tested at the full test voltage for new machines
When a user and a repai r contractor have agreed to carry out withstand voltage tests in cases
where windings h ave been partially rewound or in the case of an overha uled m achine, the
followi ng procedure is reco m m ended:
a) partially rewound win d i n gs are tested at 75 % of the test v oltage for a new m achine.
Before the test, the old part of the windi n g shall be carefully cleaned and dried;
47
ISIIEC 60034-1 : 2004

b) overhauled m achines, after cleaning a nd dryi ng, a re subjected to a test at a voltage equal
to 1 , 5 times the rated voltage, with a m i n i m u m of 1 000 V if the rated voltage is equal to or

Occasional excess cu r rent

General
The excess curre nt capability of rotating m achi nes is given for the purpose of co-ordi nati ng
these m achi n es with control and protective devices. Tests to demonstrate these capabilities
are not a requirem ent of this stan dard. The heati ng effect in the machi ne wi n di n gs varies
approx i m ately as the product of the time and the square of the current. A current in excess of
the rated cu rrent will result i n increased temperature. Unless otherwise a greed, it can be
assumed th at the m achine wil l not be operated at the excess currents specified for m ore than
a few short periods d uri n g the lifetime of the machine. When an a . c. m achine is to be used as
both a gen erator a nd a m otor, the excess current capability should be the s u bject of
agreem ent.
NOTE For the capability of synchronous machines concerning the occasional negative-sequence component of
current under fault conditions, see 7 .2.3.

General
The foll owi ng requirem ents apply to rotati ng el ectri cal machi nes with rated voltages n ot
exceeding 1 000 V a . c . or 1 500 V d . c. and which are i nte nded for operatio n i n i ndustri al
environ ments.
Electronic components m ounted i nside a rotati ng electrical machine a n d which are essential
for its operation (for ex a m ple rotati ng excitatio n devices) a re part of the machi ne.
Requirements which apply to the final drive system and its components, for exam ple power
and control electronic equipm ent, coupled machin es, monitori n g devices, etc. wheth er
m o u nted i nside or o utside the machine, are outside the scope of this sta ndard.
The requi re m e nts of this claus e apply to machin es that are su pplied di rectly to the end-user.
NOTE Machines that :no intondod for incorporation u components in an apparatus, where the enclosure
assembly will affect the E MC emissions, are covered by the EMC standard that relates to the final product.

Machi nes without el ectronic ci rcuits are not sensitive to electro m agnetic e missions under
normal service conditions and, therefore, no i m m U n ity tests are requi red.
M achines incorporating electronic circuits
1 3.2.2
As electronic circuits which are incorporated i n machi nes generally utilize com po nents that
are passive (for exam ple diodes, resistors, varistors, capacitors, surge su ppressors,

NOTE lt is the responsibility of the manufacturer or assembler of equipment incorporating electrical machines as
components to ensure that the overall equipment is safe.
This may involve consideration of relevant product standards such as:
IEC 60079: Electrical apparatu$ for explosive ga$ atmospheres,
and other parts of IEC 60034 including:
IEC 60034-S, IEC 60034-6, 1EC 60034-7, 1EC 60034-S, IEC 60034-1 1 and IEC 60034 -12.
In addition , it may be necessary to consider limitation of the surface temperature and similar characteristics: see
for example IEC 60335-1 , Clause 1 1 : Heating.

G u i d a n ce fo r the a p p l i cation of d uty type S 1 0 a n d for
establishing the val ue of relative the rmal l ife expecta ncy TL
A. 1 The load of the machine at any m oment is equivalent to duty type S 1 correspo nding
to 4 . 2 . 1 . However, the l oad cycle may com prise loads oth er than the rated load based on duty
type S 1 . A load cycle com prising fou r discrete constant load/speed combi nations is shown i n
Fi gure 1 0.
Depending on the value and duration of the different loads within one cycle, the relative
life expectancy of the machine based on the thermal ageing of the i nsulati on system can be
calculated by the foll owi ng equati on:
A.2
!19;
1
= :LM; x 2 k
n
TL
i=1
where
TL
is the relative thermal l ife expectancy related to the thermal life expectancy i n case of
duty type S1 with rated o utput;
Il8;
is the difference between the tem perature rise of the wi n d i n g at each of the various
loads withi n one cycle and the tem perature rise based u pon d uty type S 1 with
reference load;
Llt;
is the p . u . ti m e of a constant load within a load cycle;
is the i nc rease i n tem perature rise in K, whi ch leads to a shorte n i ng of the thermal life
expectancy of the i nsul ation system by 50 %;
is the n u m ber of discrete values of load.
A.3 The quantity TL is an i ntegral part of the u n a m bi guous identification of the class of
rati ng.
The value of the qua ntity TL can be determi ned only when, i n a dditio n to i nformation
concerning the load cycl e according to Figure 1 0, the value k for the insulation system is
known . This value k h as to be determined by ex perim ents in conformity with I EC 60034- 1 8 for
the whole tem perature ra nge with i n which the load cycle takes place according to Figure 1 0.
A.4
A.5 TL can be stated sensi bly as a relative value only. This value can be used by
approx i m ation to assess the real change i n the mach i n e ther m al life expectancy as com pared
to duty type S1 with rated output, because it may be assumed that in considerati on of the
varyi ng l oads existi n g within a cycle the rem aining i nfl uences over the lifeti m e of the machine
(e. g . diel ectric stress, environm ental i nfluences) are approxi mately the same as in the case of
duty type S1 with rated output.
A.6 The m a n ufacturer of the machine is res ponsi ble for the correct com pilation of the
various parameters for determining the value of TL.
