Rotating electrical machines - Part 2-3: Specific test methods for determining losses and efficiency of converter-fed AC motors

IEC 60034-2-3:2020 specifies test methods and an interpolation procedure for determining losses and efficiencies of converter-fed motors within the scope of IEC 60034-1:2017. The motor is then part of a variable frequency power drive system (PDS) as defined in IEC 61800‑9‑2:2017. Applying the approach of the comparable converter, the motor efficiency determined by use of this document is applicable for comparison of different motor designs only. The document also specifies procedures to determine motor losses at any load point (torque, speed) within the base speed range (constant torque range, constant flux range) based on determination of losses at seven standardized load points. This procedure is applicable to any variable speed AC motor (induction and synchronous) rated according to IEC 60034-1:2017 for operation on a variable frequency and variable voltage power supply.

Machines électriques tournantes - Partie 2-3: Méthodes d'essai spécifiques pour la détermination des pertes et du rendement des moteurs à courant alternatif alimentés par convertisseur

l'IEC 60034-2-3:2020 spécifie les méthodes d’essai et la procédure d’interpolation relatives à la détermination des pertes et des rendements des moteurs alimentés par convertisseur relevant du domaine d’application de l’IEC 60034-1:2017. Le moteur est alors considéré comme faisant partie intégrante d'un système d’entraînement électrique de puissance (PDS – power drive system) à fréquence variable, comme cela est défini dans l’IEC 61800-9-2:2017. Avec l’approche du convertisseur comparable, le rendement du moteur déterminé par l’utilisation du présent document s’applique uniquement à la comparaison des différentes conceptions de moteurs. Le document spécifie également des procédures de détermination des pertes du moteur en tout point de charge (couple, vitesse) dans la plage de vitesses de base (plage de couples constants, plage de flux constants) à partir de la détermination des pertes au niveau de sept points de charge normalisés. Cette procédure s’applique à tout moteur à courant alternatif à vitesse variable (à induction et synchrone) assigné selon l’IEC 60034-1:2017 pour un fonctionnement à fréquence variable et alimenté en tension variable.

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.

INTRODUCTION
The objective of this document is to define test methods for determining total losses including
additional high frequency motor losses and efficiency of converter-fed motors. Additional high
frequency losses appear in addition to the losses on nominally sinusoidal power supply as
determined by the methods of IEC 60034-2-1:2014. Results determined according to this
document are intended to allow comparison of losses and efficiency of different motors when
fed by converters.
Furthermore, the document gives seven standardized operating points to characterize the
development of losses and efficiency across the whole torque/speed range. An interpolation
procedure is provided to calculate losses and efficiency at any operating point (torque, speed).
In power-drive systems (PDS), the motor and the frequency converter are often manufactured
by different suppliers. Motors of the same design are produced in large quantities. They may
be operated from the grid or from frequency converters of many different types, supplied by
many different manufacturers. The individual converter properties (switching frequency, DC link
voltage level, etc.) will also influence the system efficiency. As it is impractical to determine
motor losses for every combination of motor, frequency converter, connection cable, output
filter and parameter settings, this document describes a limited number of approaches,
depending on the voltage level and the rating of the machine under test.
The losses determined according to this document are not intended to represent the losses in
the final application. They provide, however, an objective basis for comparing different motor
designs with respect to suitability for converter operation.
In general, when fed from a converter, motor losses are higher than during operation on a
nominally sinusoidal system. The additional high frequency losses depend on the harmonic
spectrum of the impressed converter output quantity (either current or voltage) which is
influenced by its circuitry and control method. For further information,
see IEC TS 60034-25:2014.
It is not the purpose of this document to define test procedures either for power drive systems
or for frequency converters alone.
Comparable converter
Latest experience and theoretical analysis have shown that the additional high frequency motor
losses generally do not increase much with load. The methods in this document are mainly
based on supplies from converters with pulse width modulation (PWM).
With respect to these types of converters and the growing need for verification of compliance
with national energy efficiency regulations, this document defines a so-called comparable
converter for testing of low voltage motors.
In principle, the comparable converter is a voltage source with a typical high frequency harmonic
content supplying the machine under test. It is not applicable to medium voltage motors.
Limitations for the application of the comparable converter
It has to be noted that the test method with the comparable converter described herein is a
standardized method intended to give comparable efficiency figures for standardized test
conditions. A motor ranking with respect to suitability for converter operation may be derived,
but it is not equivalent to determining of the actual motor losses for operation with a specific
converter which requires a test of the whole power drive system (PDS) with the specific
converter used in the final application.

IEC 60034-2-3:2020 © IEC 2020 – 7 –
Deviations are also expected for motors driven by multi-level voltage source or current source
converters where the additional high frequency motor losses differ much more depending on
speed and load than for two-level voltage source converters. Hence the determination of losses
and efficiency should preferably use procedures where the motor is operated together with the
same converter with which it is driven in service.
Another option is the determination of the additional high frequency motor losses by calculation.
If this is requested by the customer, the pulse pattern of the converter is required. Such
procedures are not part of this document.
The provided interpolation procedure for the determination of losses and efficiency at any
operating point (torque, speed) is limited to the base speed range (constant torque range,
constant flux range).

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 2-3: Specific test methods for determining losses and
efficiency of converter-fed AC motors

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 specifies test methods and an interpolation procedure for determining
losses and efficiencies of converter-fed motors within the scope of IEC 60034-1:2017. The
motor is then part of a variable frequency power drive system (PDS) as defined in
IEC 61800-9-2:2017.
Applying the approach of the comparable converter, the motor efficiency determined by use of
this document is applicable for comparison of different motor designs only.
The document also specifies procedures to determine motor losses at any load point (torque,
speed) within the base speed range (constant torque range, constant flux range) based on
determination of losses at seven standardized load points. This procedure is applicable to any
variable speed AC motor (induction and synchronous) rated according to IEC 60034-1:2017 for
operation on a variable frequency and variable voltage power supply.

3.1
motor losses with converter supply
when powered by a converter, motor losses are a combination of losses caused by fundamental
frequency and losses caused by the converter high frequencies
3.2
fundamental losses
fundamental losses in the motor can be segregated into five different components: iron losses
(varying with motor frequency and applied fundamental voltage), friction and windage losses
(varying with motor speed), rotor winding losses, stator winding losses and additional load
losses (all three varying with motor current). Fundamental losses are the losses of a motor
running with application of rated voltage at fundamental frequency that does not contain any
further high frequencies.
3.3
additional high frequency losses
additional high frequency losses are produced in the motor by the non-sinusoidal voltage and
current waveforms generated by the converter and are in addition to the losses of iron, friction
and windage, rotor winding, stator winding and additional load loss (fundamental losses)
3.4
base speed range
speed range from standstill up to the highest speed where the motor can be supplied with a
voltage that changes in proportion to the speed so that the magnetic flux remains constant
(constant ratio U/f) for induction machines and according to the MTPA (maximum torque per
ampere) for synchronous machines. Within the base speed range, the maximum motor torque

is constant (constant torque range), if constant flux control is used.
3.5
switching frequency
number of switching events of one semiconductor within one second. It determines, together
with the selected pulse pattern and the converter topology, the lowest frequency of non-
controllable high frequencies or inter-harmonics at the IPC (in-plant point of coupling) or the
motor
Note 1 to entry: For a two level converter, the pulse frequency measured phase to phase is two times the switching
frequency defined in 3.5 in case of continuous modulation and about 1,33 times the switching frequency defined in
3.5 in case of discontinuous modulation. A switching event is once on and once off of one semiconductor.

5 Basic requirements
5.1 Instrumentation
5.1.1 General
Unless otherwise stated in this document, the arithmetic average of the three line currents and
voltages shall be used.
When testing electric machines under load, slow fluctuations in the output power and other
measured quantities may be unavoidable. Therefore for each load point many readings shall be
taken automatically by a suitable digital meter over a period of at least 15 s but not more than
60 s and this average shall be used for the determination of efficiency.
Considering the high frequencies involved in converters feeding AC motors and their
contribution to the motor losses, the measuring equipment has to be selected according to the
range of relevant frequencies with sufficient accuracy.
For temperature measurements, a thermosensor installed in the hot spot may be optionally
used, as described in IEC 60034-2-1:2014.
5.1.2 Power analyser and transducers
The instrumentation for measuring power and current at the motor’s input shall basically meet
the requirements of IEC 60034-2-1:2014, but due to higher frequency components the following
additional requirements shall also apply.
The specified uncertainty of the power meters shall be 0,2 % of the rated apparent power of the
motor or better for the total active power at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. This is the total uncertainty of the
power meter including possible sensors.
NOTE 1 For example, when a three-phase motor has a rated voltage of 400 V and a rated current of 10 A then the
power meter's active power uncertainty is at least 0,2 % of √3 times 4 000 VA, which is 13,9 W or better.

IEC 60034-2-3:2020 © IEC 2020 – 11 –
The bandwidth of power meters and sensors shall be sufficiently wide that the error in the
measurement of total active power for the entire frequency range (beyond 50 Hz and 60 Hz) is
less than or equal to 0,3 % of the apparent power.
NOTE 2 In general, a bandwidth from 0 Hz up to 10 times of switching frequency is sufficient.
