IEC 60034-18-41-2014 Rotating electrical machines. Part 18-41: Partial discharge free electrical insulation systems (Type I) used in otating electrical machines fed from voltage converters - Qualification and quality control tests

Language: English, French
International Standard IEC 60034-18-41 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2: Rotating machinery.
IEC 60034-18-41 cancels and replaces IEC/TS 60034-18-41 (2006).Scope
This part of IEC 60034 defines criteria for assessing the insulation system of stator/rotor windings which are subjected to voltage-source pulse-width-modulation (PWM) drives. It applies to stator/rotor windings of single or polyphase AC machines with insulation systems for converter operation.
It describes qualification tests and quality control (type and routine) tests on representative samples or on completed machines which verify fitness for operation with voltage source converters.
This standard does not apply to:
– rotating machines which are only started by converters;
– rotating electrical machines with rated voltage ≤ 300 V r.m.s.;
– rotor windings of rotating electrical machines operating at ≤ 200 V (peak).
