IEC 60349-2:2010

Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 2: Electronic converter-fed alternating current motors

IEC 60349-2:2010 applies to converter-fed alternating current motors forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The object of this part is to enable the performance of a motor to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other motors. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- the limits valid for traction motors are now directly stated in this standard;
- the methods described in the relevant ISO standards are now allowed.

Traction électrique - Machines électriques tournantes des véhicules ferroviaires et routiers - Partie 2: Moteurs à courant alternatif alimentés par convertisseurs électroniques

La CEI 60349-2:2010 s'applique aux moteurs à courant alternatif alimentés par convertisseur qui font partie de l'équipement des véhicules ferroviaires et routiers à propulsion électrique. L'objet de cette partie est de permettre de vérifier, par des essais, les performances d'un moteur, de servir de base à l'estimation de son aptitude à assurer un service donné, et de fournir une base de comparaison avec d'autres moteurs. Les principales modifications techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivantes:
- les limites valables pour les moteurs de traction sont maintenant directement spécifiées dans cette norme;
- les méthodes décrites dans les normes ISO pertinentes sont à présent autorisées.

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 poss
