EN 60034-4:2008

Rotating electrical machines - Part 4: Methods for determining synchronous machine quantities from tests

IEC 60034-4:2008 applies to three-phase synchronous machines of 1 kVA rating and larger with rated frequency of not greater than 500 Hz and not less than 10 Hz. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: - removal of certain tests for lack of relevance in current practise; - addition of provisions for tests on machines with brushless excitation; - addition of a table of test methods indicating preferred tests and cross-references.

Machines électriques tournantes - Partie 4: Méthodes pour la détermination, à partir d'essais, des grandeurs des machines synchrones

La CEI 60034-4:2008 est applicable aux machines synchrones triphasées dont la puissance assignée est supérieure ou égale à 1 kVA et dont la fréquence assignée est comprise entre 10 Hz au moins et 500 Hz au plus. Les principales modifications apportées à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes: - suppression de certains essais du fait d'un manque de pertinence dans la pratique; - ajout de dispositions pour les essais sur des machines à excitation sans balais; - ajout d'un tableau des méthodes d'essai indiquant les essais préférentiels et les références.

Foreword
The text of document 2/1488/FDIS, future edition 3 of IEC 60034-4, prepared by IEC TC 2, Rotating
machinery, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 60034-4 on 2008-07-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60034-4:1995.
The main changes with respect to EN 60034-4:1995 are listed below:
– tests described in supplement A of EN 60034-4:1995 were partly removed for lack of relevance in
current practice;
– provisions were made for tests on machines with brushless excitation;
– a table of test methods indicates preferred tests, and a test cross-reference is provided;
– the conventional two-axes salient-pole machine model description was added in an annex.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2009-04-01
national standard or by endorsement
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2011-07-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
__________
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60034-4:2008 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.
