Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems - Part 2: General requirements - Rating specifications for adjustable speed AC power drive systems
IEC 61800-2:2021 applies to adjustable speed electric AC power drive systems, which include semiconductor power conversion and the means for their control, protection, monitoring, measurement and the AC motors.
It applies to adjustable speed electric power drive systems intended to feed AC motors from a BDM or CDM connected to line-to-line voltages up to and including 35 kV AC 50 Hz or 60 Hz and/or voltages up to and including 1,5 kV DC input side.
NOTE Adjustable speed electric DC power drive systems intended to feed DC motors are covered by IEC 61800-1.
This documents defines and describes a non-exhaustive list of criteria for the selection of BDM/CDM/PDS performance and functional attributes. This list is reviewed by the responsible parties to determine considerations for the design of device(s), equipment or system(s) with related testing specification. It also suggests a selection of performance and functional attributes for driven equipment and extended products. The performance and functional attributes focus on the following categories:
principal parts topology and classification of the PDS;
ratings, performance and functionality;
specifications for the environment in which the PDS is intended to be installed and operated;
other specifications which might be applicable when specifying a complete PDS. Traction applications and electric vehicles are excluded from the scope of this document.
This document provides a non-exhaustive list from which minimum requirements can be used for the development of a specification between customer and manufacturer based on the application requirements. This same non-exhaustive list can be used by a manufacturer to determine the minimum requirements for a commoditised BDM/CDM/PDS without customer interaction based on the specified application of that BDM/CDM/PDS.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a. the requirements from IEC 61800-4 for high-voltage PDS are now merged with requirements from IEC 61800-2:2015;
b. Clause 1 has been updated to introduce the new concept of Clause 4;
c. terms and definitions in Table 1 to Table 4 have been classified in logical order; classification in low voltage and high voltage has been considered in Table 5, and Figure 3 clarifies boundaries within BDM/CDM/PDS.

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.

This document is part of the IEC 61800 series specifying requirements for adjustable speed
electrical power drive systems (PDS). Since the publication of the second edition of
IEC 61800-2, several documents of the IEC 61800 series have been developed and maintained,
which has resulted in outdated references and conflicting requirements across the IEC 61800
series.
This document contains general requirements for PDSs intended to feed AC motors and with
rated converter input voltages (line-to-line voltage) up to 35 000 V AC.
PDSs intended to feed DC motors are covered by IEC 61800-1.
0.2 Consistency of requirement
This document specifies requirements for PDSs under its scope for the identified topics not
covered by any other of the standards in the IEC 61800 series.
The following requirements are covered by other standards in the IEC 61800 series:
• DC PDS requirements are covered by IEC 61800-1;
• EMC requirements are covered by IEC 61800-3;
• general safety requirements are covered by IEC 61800-5-1;
• functional safety requirements are covered by IEC 61800-5-2;
• type of load duty guidance is covered by IEC TR 61800-6;
• interface and use of profiles requirements are covered by IEC 61800-7 (all parts);
• power interface voltage specification is covered by IEC TS 61800-8;
• ecodesign energy efficiency requirements of drive system are covered by IEC 61800-9 (all
parts).
Generally, this document provides a basic description of topics and refers to the relevant
standard for specific requirement. This is done in order to ensure consistency, to avoid
conflicting requirement within IEC 61800 (all parts) and to optimize future maintenance of the
documents.
As part of the work inside SC 22G MT9, this document defines basic definitions used across
the IEC 61800 series. For issues related to active infeed converters, IEC TS 62578 has been
considered.
As a result of the development of the IEC 61800 series of standards, the need to reference
documents outside the series has decreased and especially the need to reference the
IEC 60146 (all parts) has decreased dramatically.
0.3 Tool for agreement between customer and manufacturer
This document provides a non-exhaustive list of requirements to aid in the development of a
functional specification between responsible parties. Each topic should be individually specified
by the responsible party(ies) as a compliance requirement where appropriate for the intended
application. When the manufacturer is the only responsible party, for any reason, the
manufacturer may choose to select the specific sections of this document which are relevant
for the intended application.

BDM/CDM/PDS may be built into a final installation or imbedded into an extended product as a
component. The following are example applications: lift and hoist, machinery, conveyor,
switchgears, heating and ventilation, pump, wind, tidal and marine propulsion applications.
In every application, an identification of the environmental conditions under which the product
is stored, transported and operated is essential for the proper specification of the
BDM/CDM/PDS. The environmental conditions considered should include at least those defined
in IEC 60721 (all parts) and EMC.
ADJUSTABLE SPEED ELECTRICAL POWER DRIVE SYSTEMS –
Part 2: General requirements –
Rating specifications for adjustable
speed AC power drive systems
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61800 applies to adjustable speed electric AC power drive systems, which
include semiconductor power conversion and the means for their control, protection, monitoring,
measurement and the AC motors.
It applies to adjustable speed electric power drive systems intended to feed AC motors from a
BDM or CDM connected to line-to-line voltages up to and including 35 kV AC 50 Hz or 60 Hz
and/or voltages up to and including 1,5 kV DC input side.
NOTE Adjustable speed electric DC power drive systems intended to feed DC motors are covered by IEC 61800-1.
This documents defines and describes a non-exhaustive list of criteria for the selection of
BDM/CDM/PDS performance and functional attributes. This list is reviewed by the responsible
parties to determine considerations for the design of device(s), equipment or system(s) with
related testing specification. It also suggests a selection of performance and functional
attributes for driven equipment and extended products. The performance and functional
attributes focus on the following categories:
• principal parts topology and classification of the PDS;
• ratings, performance and functionality;
• specifications for the environment in which the PDS is intended to be installed and operated;
• other specifications which might be applicable when specifying a complete PDS.
Traction applications and electric vehicles are excluded from the scope of this document.
This document provides a non-exhaustive list from which minimum requirements can be used
for the development of a specification between customer and manufacturer based on the
application requirements. This same non-exhaustive list can be used by a manufacturer to
determine the minimum requirements for a commoditised BDM/CDM/PDS without customer
interaction based on the specified application of that BDM/CDM/PDS.
For some aspects which are covered by specific PDS product standards in the IEC 61800 series,
this document provides a short introduction and reference to detailed requirements in these
product standards.
This applies to the following aspects:
• EMC requirements are covered by IEC 61800-3;
• general safety requirements are covered by IEC 61800-5-1;
• functional safety requirements are covered by IEC 61800-5-2;
• type of load duty guidance is covered by IEC TR 61800-6;
• interface and use of profiles requirements are covered by IEC 61800-7 (all parts);
• power interface voltage specification is covered by IEC TS 61800-8;

• ecodesign energy efficiency requirements of drive system are covered by IEC 61800-9 (all
parts).
