Rotating electrical machines - Part 18-33: Functional evaluation of insulation systems - Test procedures for form-wound windings - Multifactor evaluation by endurance under simultaneous thermal and electrical stresses

IEC/TS 60034-18-33:2010 describes procedures for evaluation of insulation systems by endurance testing where thermal and electrical stresses are applied simultaneously. The procedures are intended for insulation systems used in a.c. electrical machines using form-wound windings. The test procedures provide a comparison of performance between reference and candidate systems at combinations of voltage and temperature which have been used separately to assess quality in the past and which are chosen to produce failures within a suitable timescale and at stresses within practical limits. The outcome of the test on the candidate insulation system will indicate whether it is better or worse than the reference system with proven service experience. The main changes of this new edition with respect to the previous one are as follows: - the requirement to investigate the nature of interactions between thermal and electrical stresses has been abandoned; - the use of single stress acceleration factors has been removed; - the selection of stress levels has been adjusted and the temperatures are now related to the thermal class temperature of the insulation system; - the introduction of end-point criteria; - a simplified method to display results.

Električni rotacijski stroji - 18-33. del: Funkcionalna ocena izolacijskih sistemov - Postopki preskušanja formiranega navitja - Ocenjevanje po več faktorjih vzdržljivosti ob hkratnem toplotnem in električnem obremenjevanju (IEC/TS 60034-18-33:2010)

Ta del IEC 60034-18 opisuje postopke za oceno izolacijskih sistemov s preskusi vzdržljivosti, kjer so toplotne in električne obremenitve podane istočasno. Postopki so namenjeni za izolacijske sisteme, uporabljene ali predlagane za uporabo v električnih strojih izmeničnega toka, ki uporabljajo formirana navitja. Preskusni postopki zagotavljajo primerjavo delovanja med referenčnimi in mogočimi sistemi pri kombinaciji napetosti in temperatur, ki so bile v preteklosti uporabljene ločeno za ocenitev kakovosti in so izbrane za ustvarjanje napak v primernem časovnem merilu in pri obremenitvah v praktičnih mejah. Izid preskusa pri mogočem izolacijskem sistemu bo navajal, ali je boljši ali slabši kot referenčni sistem z dokazanimi uporabnimi izkušnjami, vendar ne bo omogočil izračuna življenjske dobe pri uporabi. Ocenjevanje, opisano v tej tehnični specifikaciji, ne vsebuje razvrščanja obremenitev.
Preskusni postopki v tej tehnični specifikaciji niso namenjeni vzpostavitvi interakcije med toplotnimi in električnimi obremenitvami niti v procesu staranja niti pri mejah vzdržljivosti. Če so potrebne dodatne informacije o tej interakciji ali da se dosežejo meje vzdržljivosti, je treba opraviti nadaljnje preskuse, v katerih je električno staranje izvedeno pri konstantni temperaturi in različnih napetostih (IEC 60034-18-32), toplotno staranje pa pri različnih temperaturah in konstantni napetosti.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC/TS 60034-18-33, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 2: Rotating machinery.

TS 60034-18-33 © IEC:2010(E) – 5 –
This new edition was originally issued as a technical report in 1995 but has been revised
extensively prior to re-issue as a technical specification. The main changes with respect to
the earlier version of this document are as follows.
a) the requirement to investigate the nature of interactions between thermal and electrical
stresses has been abandoned;
b) the use of single stress acceleration factors has been removed;
c) the selection of stress levels has been adjusted and the temperatures are now related to
the thermal class temperature of the insulation system;
d) the introduction of end-point criteria;
e) a simplified method to display results.
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This document is being issued as a technical specification (according to the ISO/IEC
Directives, Part 1, 3.1.1.1) for provisional application in the field of insulation systems for
rotating electrical machines, because there is a need for guidance on how standards in this
field should be used to meet an identified need.
This document is not to be regarded as an International Standard. It is proposed for
provisional application so that information and experience of its use in practice may be
gathered. Comments on the content of this document should be sent to the IEC Central
Office.
Part 18-1 of IEC 60034 presents general guidelines for the evaluation and classification of
insulation systems used in rotating machines.
Part 18-33 deals exclusively with insulation systems for form-wound windings and
concentrates on multifactor functional evaluation under simultaneous thermal and electrical
ageing.
