Rotating electrical machines - Part 4-1: Methods for determining electrically excited synchronous machine quantities from tests

IEC 60034-4-1:2018 applies to three-phase synchronous machines of 1 kVA rating and larger and describes methods intended to be used for machines having an excitation winding with slip-rings and brushes for their supply. Synchronous machines with brushless excitation require special effort for some of the tests. For machines with permanent magnet excitation, there is a limited applicability of the described tests, and special precautions should be taken against irreversible demagnetization.

Drehende elektrische Maschinen - Teil 4-1: Verfahren zur Ermittlung der Kenngrößen von Synchronmaschinen durch Messungen

Machines électriques tournantes - Partie 4-1: Méthodes pour la détermination, à partir d’essais, des grandeurs des machines synchrones à excitation électrique

L’IEC 60034-4-1:2018 est applicable aux machines synchrones triphasées dont la puissance assignée est supérieure ou égale à 1 kVA et décrit des méthodes destinées à être utilisées avec des machines ayant un enroulement d’excitation avec des bagues collectrices et des balais pour leur alimentation. Les machines synchrones sans balai d’excitation exigent un investissement particulier pour certains des essais. Pour les machines dont l’excitation est assurée par des aimants permanents, les essais décrits ont une applicabilité limitée et il convient de prendre des précautions particulières contre une démagnétisation irréversible.

Električni rotacijski stroji - 4-1. del: Metode za določanje parametrov sinhronskih strojev s preskusi (IEC 60034-4-1:2018)

Ta del standarda IEC 60034 se uporablja za trifazne sinhronske stroje z nazivno močjo 1 kVA in več.
Večina metod je namenjenih za uporabo s stroji, ki imajo vzbujalno navitje z drsnimi obroči in ščetkami za njihovo napajanje. Sinhronski stroji z vzbujanjem brez ščetk pri nekaterih preskusih zahtevajo posebno pozornost. Pri strojih s trajnim magnetnim vzbujanjem je uporaba opisanih preskusov omejena in upoštevati je treba posebne previdnostne ukrepe proti nepovratnemu razmagnetenju.
Izključeni so aksialni stroji in posebni sinhronski stroji, kot so induktorski stroji, stroji s prečnim pretokom in reluktančni stroji.
Ta dokument ni namenjen interpretaciji, da so kateri koli ali vsi v njem opisani preskusi nujni na katerem koli stroju. Posebni preskusi, ki jih je treba izvesti, so predmet dogovora med proizvajalcem in kupcem.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 4-1: Methods for determining electrically excited
synchronous machine quantities from tests

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.
International Standard IEC 60034-4-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
IEC 60034-4-1 first edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 60034-4 published in
2008. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This publication includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
IEC 60034-4 edition 3:
a) improvement of several procedures with respect to evaluation of quantities;
b) deletion of uncommon procedures;
c) applicability of procedures for permanent magnet machines.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 4-1: Methods for determining electrically excited
synchronous machine quantities from tests

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 applies to three-phase synchronous machines of 1 kVA rating and
larger.
Most of the methods are intended to be used for machines having an excitation winding with
slip-rings and brushes for their supply. Synchronous machines with brushless excitation
require special effort for some of the tests. For machines with permanent magnet excitation,
there is a limited applicability of the described tests, and special precautions should be taken
against irreversible demagnetization.
Excluded are axial-field machines and special synchronous machines such as inductor type
machines, transversal flux machines and reluctance machines.
It is not intended that this document be interpreted as requiring any or all of the tests
described therein on any given machine. The particular tests to be carried out are subject to
agreement between manufacturer and customer.
