FOREWORD
I) The formal decisions or agreements of the I EC on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all
the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible. an inrcmational
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
scnsc.
3) In order IO promote international unification. the I E C expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt
the text of the 1 EC recommendation for their national nrics in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence
berwem the I E C recommendations and the corresponding national rules should. as far as possible. be clearly indica:ed
in the latter.
4) The I E C has not laid down any procedure concerning marking as an indication of approval and has no responsibility
when an item of quipmem is declared to comply with one of its recommendations.

.
i
3.1 D u t y
The duty, as defined in Sub-clause 2.9, may be described by one of the duty types defined
in Clause 4, or by the specification of another duty by the purchaser. ::
In certain cases, where the load does not vary or where it varies in a known manner. the
duty may be declared numerically or with the aid of a time sequence graph of the variable
quantities.
If the time sequence is indeterminate. a fictitious time sequence (duty types S2 to S8) not
less onerous than the true one, shall be selected, or the duty type S9 shall be applied.
If the duty is not stated, duty type Sl (continuous running duty) applies.
3.3 Raring
The rating. as defined in Sub-clause 2.1, is assigned by the manufacturer by selection of one
of the classes of rating defined in Clause 5. The class of rating selected shall normally be
maximum continuous rating based on duty type Sl (continuous running duty) or short-time
rating based on duty type S2 (short-time duty).
If this is not possible, a periodic duty type rating based on one of the duty types S3
IO S8 (periodic duty) or the non-periodic duty type rating based on the duty type S9
(non-periodic duty) shall be selected.
.
,
34-1 0 I E C 1983 - 21 -
When a machine is intended to supply varying loads or loads including a period of no-load
or periods where the machine will be in a state of rest and de-energized, the class of rating
shall be a periodic duty type rating based on a duty type selected from duty types S3 to S8
as defined in Sub-clauses 4.3 to 4.8 and as designated in Clause 6.
A class of rating having been assigned to a machine on the basis of a duty type selected from
duty types S3 to S9, where a test is specified it is normally suRicient to test the machine at
an equivalent continuous rating as defined in Sub-clause 5.3.
In some cases, a test at the actual or estimated duty may be arranged by agreement between
manufacturer and purchaser but such a procedure is not generally practical.
- For duty type S9. a suitable full load value(s) is taken as the rated output. See
Sub-clause 4.9 and “C,” in Figure 9, page 102.
4. Duty types*
* Whilst the nine duly types arc intended to apply primarily to motors. certain of them may also be used 10 define
@nerator duties (e.g. the duty types 51. S?).
.
4.5 Inrermittent periodic duty with electric braking - Duty type SS’
A sequence of identical duty cycles. each cycle consisting of a period of starting, a period
of operation at constant load, a period of rapid electric braking and a rest and de-energized
period (see Figure 5, page 98).
4.7 Continuous-operation periodic duty with electric braking - Duty type Si*
A sequence of identical duty cycles, each cycle consisting of a period of starting. a period
of operation at constant load and a period ofelectric braking. There is no rest and de-energized
period (see Figure 7, page 100).
4.8 Continuous-operation periodic duty with related load/speed changes - Duty type S8* :
A sequence of identical duty cycles. each cycle consisting of a period of operation at
constant load corresponding to a predetermined speed of rotation, followed by one or more
periods of operation at other constant loads corresponding to different speeds of rotation
(carried out for example by means of a change of the number of poles in the case of induction
motors). There is no rest and de-energized period (see Figure 8, page IO!).
4.9 Dury with non-periodic load and speed variations - Duty t!pe S9
A duty in which generally load and speed are varying non-periodically within the
permissible operating range. This duty includes frequently applied overloads that may greatly
exceed the full loads (see Figure 9 page 102).
Note. - For this duty type suitable full load values should be taken as Ihe basis of the overload concept.
5. Classes of rating
In assigning the rating. the manufacturer shall select one of the classes of rating defined in
Sub-clauses 5.1 to 5.5.
* Tbc duration of a cycle is generally too short for thermal equilibrium to be reached (see Sub-daus~ 5.4).
.
6. Designation
For the duty types S4 and S5. the abbreviations S-t and SS are followed by the indication
of the cyclic duration factor and the moment of inertia of the motor (Jbt) and the moment
of inertia of the load (I,,,). both referred to the motor shaft.
Example: SJ 25% & = 0.15 kg m2 JcXt = 0.7 kg mr
. For the duty type S7. the abbreviation S7 is followed by the moment of inertia of the motor
(JM) and the moment of inertia of the load (J&, both referred to the motor shaft.
Example: S7 J, = 0.4 kg mr J,,, = 7.5 kg mt
For the duty type S8, the abbreviation S8 is followed by the moment of inertia of the motor
(Jt.,t) and the moment of inertia of the load (J&, both referred to the motor shaft. together
with the load. speed and cyclic duration factor for ench speed condition.
7. Assignment of ratings
The ratings shall be assigned in accordance with the requirements of this section and be
marked on the rating plate in accordance with Section Ten.
For machines with more than one rating. the machine shall comply with this standard in
all respects at each rating.
Where reactors are connected between machine terminals and the supply and are regarded
as an integral part of the machine, the rated values shall refer to the terminals of the reactor
on the supply side.
Xote. - This does nor apply to power trmsbrmcrs conncckd between the machine and the supply.
For all machines the preferred rated output values expressed in watts. shall be taken from
the R40 series of preferred numbers. rounded-off in accordance with IS0 Standard 497.
When a specific I EC publication exists for machines of a particular type. the rated output
values shall be in accordance with any series specified in that publication.
.

Now. - For sakry rcz~ons. the hydrogen contcnr should ni all times be mninrnined (LL 90% or more. it being assumed
that the other gas in the mixture is air.
.-
For calculating efficiency in accordance with I EC Publication 34-2: Rotating Electrical
Machines, Part 2: Methods for Determining Losses and ElIiciency of Rotating Electrical
Machinery from Tests (excluding Machines for Traction Vehicles). the standard composition
of the gaseous mixture shall be 98% hydrogen and 2% air by volume. at the specified values
of pressure and retooled temperature. unless otherwise agreed between manufacturer and
purchaser. Windage losses shall be calculated at the corresponding density.
II 1 Elecrrical supplev
A.C. machines within the scope of this standard shall be suitable for three-phase. 50 Hz or
60 Hz, with voltages derived from the nominal voltages given in I E C Publication 38: I EC
Standard Voltages.
In deriving rated voltages for machines. it is necessary to take into consideration the
differences between distribution and utilization system voltages. :;.
Norr. - For large high-voltage B.C. generators. rhc voltages mnv be selected for optimum performance.
Machines shall be so designed as, to be capable of operating under the conditions detailed
in Sub-clauses 112.1. 12.22 (see also Clause 23) or 122.3 as appropriate.
IX.1 In the case of an a.c. motor. the supply voltage is assumed to be virtually sinusoidal as
defined in Item a) below. In the case of a polyphase motor. the supply voltages are also
assumed to form a virtually balanced system as defined in Item b) below.
I -
Should the limits in Items a) and b) occur simultaneously in service at the rated load, this
shall not lead to any deleterious temperature in the motor and it is recommended that the
excess resulting temperature rise or temperature related to the limits specified in Tables I. II
and III should be not more than approximately 10 K.
a) The voltage is considered to be virtually sinusoidal. if. when supplying an a.~. motor at
rated load. the waveform is such that the difference between the instantaneous value and
the instantaneous value of the fundamental component does not exceed 5% of the
amplitude of the latter.
In temperature-rise testing. as specified in Section Five. such amplitude difference shall
not exceed 2.5%.
.
122.2 In the case of an a.c. generator, the circuit which it supplies is assumed to be virtually
non-deforming and virtually balanced as defined in Items a) and b) below.
G’
Should the limits defined in Items a) and b) occur simultaneously in service at the rated
load, this shall not lead to any deleterious temperature in the generator and it is recommended
that the excess resulting temperature rise or temperature related to the limits specified in
Tables I, II and III should be not more than approximately IO K.
a) A circuit is considered to be virtually non-deforming if, when supplied by a sinusoidal
voltage, the current is virtually sinusoidal, that is to say, none of the instantaneous values
differ from the instantaneous value of the same phase of the fundamental wave by more
than 5% of the amplitude of the latter. _’
b) A polyphase circuit is considered to be virtually balanced if, when supplied by a balanced
system of voltages, the system of currents is virtually balanced. that is to say, neither the
negative-sequence component nor the zero-sequence component exceeds 5% of the
positive-sequence component.
122.3 In the case of a d.c. motor supplied from a static power converter, the pulsating voltage
and current affect the performance of the machine. Losses and temperature rise will increase
0 and the commutation is more dihicult compared with a d.c. motor supplied from a pure d.c.
power source.
Thus it is necessary for motors intended for static power converter supply to be designed
to operate under these conditions and it is often necessary to provide a d.c. motor with an
external inductance for reducing the pulsation.
. In order to obtain a proper combination of d.c. motor and static power converter, the motor
manufacturer should be consulted.
Generators complying with these requirements shall be capable of supplying their rated
output at rated speed (and at rated power factor where separately controllable) at a voltage
that may vary between 95% and 105% of their rated voltage.
..
.
Motors complying with these requirements shall be capable of providing their rated output
when they are supplied (in the case of a.c. machines at their rated frequency) by a voltage that
may vary between 95% and 105% of their rated voltage.
In the case of continuous operation at the extreme voltage limits specified above. the
temperature-rise limits stated in Tables I and II may be exceeded by:
- 10 K for machines of outputs up to and including 1000 kW (or kVA);
- 5 K for machines of outputs exceeding 1000 kW (or kVA).
Note. - Machines should not be operated in service at loads in a~css of their rated load or under conditions differing
from the rated conditions unless it is known that they arc suitable for such USC .
If the windings do not have the same insulation at the line and the neutral ends, this shall
be defined in operating instructions.
N0t.Z. - The earthing of interconnection of machine neutral points should not be undertaken without consulting the
machine manufacturer because of the danger of zcro-uquence componcnrs of currrms of al\ frequencies
under some operadng conditions and the possible mechanical damage to the winding under line-m-neutral
faolt conditions.
14.2.1 Open machines or closed machines withour heal exchangers (cooled by surrounding ambiem
air or gas)
The ambient air or gas temperature shall be measured by means of several temperature
detectors placed at different points around and half-way up the machine at a distance of from
1 m to 2 m from it and protected from all heat radiation and draughts.
142.2 Machines cooled br air or gas from a remote source through ventilation ducts and machines
with separarei.v mounded heal exchangers
The temperature of the primary coolant shall be measured where it enters the machine.
a) resistance method:
b) embedded temperature detector (ETD) method:
c) thermometer method:
d) superposition method.
The different methods shall not be used as a check against each other.
15.2.1 Resistance merhod
In this method, the temperature rise of the windings is determined from the increase of the
resistance of the windings.
15.2.2 Embedded temperature detector (ETD) method
In this method, the temperature is determined by means of temperature detectors (e.g.
resistance thermometers, thermocouples or semi-conductor negative coefficient detectors)
which are built into the machine during construction, at points which are inaccessible after
the machine is completed.
In this method the resistance measurements used for determination of temperature rises of
a.c. windings in accordance with Sub-clause 15.3.1. are made without interruption of the a.c.
load current by applying a small d.c. measuring current superposed upon the load current.
Note. - &tails ofthis method we given in I EC Publication 279: Mclsurcmcnt of the Winding Rcsistnncc of ;rn
A.C. Machine during Operation at Alrernirting Voltage.
In general, for measuring the temperature of the windings of a machine. the resistance
method in accordance with Sub-clause 15.2.1 shall be applied.
The embedded temperature detector (ETD) method shall be used for a.c. stator windings
of machines having a rated output of 5000 kW (or kVA) or more.
For a.c. machines having a rated output below 5 000 kW (or kVA) and above 200 kW (or
kVA) the manufacturer shall choose either the resistance or the ETD method, unless otherwise
agreed.
For a.c. machines having a rated output of 200 kW (or kVA) or less the manufacturer shall
choose either the resistance method or the superposition method. unless otherwise agreed. 1:. .
For machines rated 600 W (or VA) or less, when the windings are non-uniform or severe
complications are involved in making the necessary connections, the temperature rise may be
determined by means of thermometers (or non-embedded thermocouples). Temperature-rise
limits in accordance with Table I shall apply.
For a.c. stator windings having only one coil-side per slot. the embedded detector method
is not recognized and the resistance method shall be used (see also Sub-clause 15.322).
Now. - For checkins :hc taipcraturc of such windings in service. an embedded detector at the bottom of the slot
is of little value because it gives mainly the temperature of the iron ccrc. A detector plnced between the coil
and the wedge till follow the temperature of the winding much more closcl,y and is. therefore. better for
check tests. although the tnperamre there may be rather low. The relation between the temperatwc
measured 81 that place and the tcmperaturc measured by the resistance method should be determined by
a temperature-rise test.
For windings of armatures having commutators and for field windings. except for field
windings in cylindrical rotors of synchronous machines. the resistance method and the
thermometer method are recognized (see also Sub-clause 15.33). The resistance method is
preferred.
For stationary field windings of d.c. machines having more than one layer the ETD method
may also be used.
.
R2 - R,
I7A - 1, = (235 + II) + 11 - I,
RI
When the temperature of a winding is determined by resistance, the temperature of the
winding before the test, measured by thermometer, shall be practically that of the coolant.
15.3.2 Determination of temperature rise by the embedded remperarure derecror. (ETD) method
When the ETD method is used, the detectors shall be suitably distributed throughout the
machine windings and the number of embedded detectors installed shall be not less than six.
All reasonable efforts. consistent with safety, shall be made to place the detectors at the
various points at which the highest temperatures are likely to occur, in such a manner that
they are effectively protected from contact with the primary coolant.
For Table I. the highest reading of ETD elements (excluding unreliable readings) shall be
used to determine compliance with requirements for temperature rise or temperature limits.
Now. - For Tables II and 111 the avcragc of the readings may k used.
If there are two or more coil-sides per slot the detectors shall be installed in accordance with
Sub-clause 15.3.2.1. If there is only one coil-side per slot. or if it is desired to measure the end
winding temperature, the recommended methods of installation are given in Sub-clauses
. 15.3.2.2 and 15.3.2.3, but in these cases the ETD method of temperature measurement is not
a recognized method for determining temperature rise or temperature limits in order to verify
the compliance of the rating with this standard.
15.32. I T\vo coil-sides per slor or more than two coil-sides per slor
When the winding has two coil-sides per slot .or more than two sides per slot. the
temperature detectors shall be located between the insulated coil-sides within the slot in
positions at which the highest temperatures are likely to occur.

15.4. I The measurement of temperatures after shutdown by the resistance method requires a quick
shutdown of the machine at the end of the temperature test. A carefullv planned procedure
and an adequate number of people are required to obtain readings quickly enough to give
reliable data.
If the initial resistance reading is obtained within the time interval indicated below, this
reading shall be accepted as the temperature measurement, and extrapolation of observed
temperatures to the instant of switching off the power is unnecessary.

15.42 If the initial resistance reading cannot be made in the required length of time. it shall be
made as soon as possible afterwards and additional resistance readings be taken at intervals
of approximately I min until these readings have begun a distinct decline from their maximum
values. A curve of these readings shall be plotted as a function of time and extrapolated to
the time delay specified in the above table for the rated output of the machine. A
semi-logarithmic plot is recommended where temperature is plotted on the logarithmic scale.
The value of temperature thus obtained shall be considered as the temperature at shutdown.

3 SECTION THIRTEEN - CONSTRUCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Machines shall be provided with means for connecting a protective conductor or an earth
conductor, such means being identified by the appropriate symbol or legend. This requirement
does not apply to machines with supplementary insulation, to machines with rated voltages
up to 42 V, or to machines for assembling in apparatus with supplementary insulation.
In the case of machines having rated voltages above 42 V, but not exceeding 1000 V a.c.
or 1500 V d.c., the terminal for the earth conductor shall be situated in the vicinity of the
terminals for the line conductors, being placed in the terminal box if one is provided. Machines
having rated outputs in excess of 100 kW shall have, in addition, an earth terminal fitted on
the frame.
Machines for rated voltages higher than 1000 V a.c. or 1 500 V d.c. shall have an earth
terminal on the frame, for example an iron strap, and in addition, a means inside the terminal
box for connecting a conducting cable sheath, if any.
The earth terminal shall be designed to ensure a good connection with the earth conductor
.
without any damage to the conductor or terminal. Accessible conducting parts which are not
part of the operating circuit shall have a good electrically conducting connection with each
other and with the earth terminal. The shaft need not be electrically connected to the earth
. terminal unless the bearings are insulated and the accessible parts of the shaft and of these
i insulated bearings can be subjected to dangerous contact voltages under fault conditions.
When an earth terminal is provided in the terminal box. it shall be assumed that the earth
conductor is made of the same metal as the live conductors.
When an earth terminal is provided on the’frame. the earth conductor may, bv agreement,
be made of another metal (e.g., steel). In this case, in designing the terminal. proper
consideration shall be given to the conductivity of the conductor.

For other cross-sectional areas of live conductors. the earth or protective conductor shall
have a cross-sectional area at least equivalent to:
- that of the live conductor for cross-sectional areas less than 25 mm*;
- 25 mm* for cross-sectional areas between 25 mm* and 50 mm2;
- 50% of that of the live conductor for cross-sectional areas exceeding 50 mm*.
The earth terminal shall be identified in accordance with I EC Publication 445:
Identification of Apparatus Terminals and General Rules for a Uniform System of Terminal
Marking, using an Alphanumeric Notation.
When the machine shaft extension is provided with a keyway, it should be provided with
a full key of normal shape and length.
