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.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 12: Starting performance of single-speed

three-phase cage induction motors

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 specifies the parameters for four eight designs of starting performance
of single-speed three-phase 50 Hz or 60 Hz cage induction motors in accordance with
IEC 60034-1 that:
– have a rated voltage up to 1 000 V;
– are intended for direct-on-line or star-delta starting;
– are rated on the basis of duty type S1;
– are constructed to any degree of protection and explosion protection.
This document also applies to dual voltage motors provided that the flux saturation level is the
same for both voltages and to motors having type of protection 'e – increased safety' with
temperature classes T1 to T3 complying with IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-7.
The values of torque, apparent power and current given in this document are limiting values
(that is, minimum or maximum without tolerance).
NOTE 1 It is not expected that all manufacturers will produce machines for all four eight designs. The selection of
any specific design in accordance with this document will be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and
the purchaser.
NOTE 2 Designs other than the four eight specified may be necessary for particular applications.
NOTE 3 It should be noted that values given in manufacturers' catalogues may include tolerances in accordance
with IEC 60034-1.
NOTE 4 The values tabled for locked rotor apparent power are based on r.m.s. symmetrical steady state locked
rotor currents; at motor switch on there will be a one-half cycle asymmetrical instantaneous peak current which
may range from 1,8 to 2,8 times the steady state locked rotor value. The current peak and decay time are a
function of the motor design and switching angle.

Note 1 to entry: This definition does not apply to those motors whose torque continually decreases with increase
in speed.
Note 2 to entry: In addition to the steady-state asynchronous torques, harmonic synchronous torques, which are a
function of rotor load angle, will be present at specific speeds. At such speeds, the accelerating torque may be
negative for some rotor load angles. Experience and calculation show this to be an unstable operating condition
and therefore harmonic synchronous torques do not prevent motor acceleration and are excluded from this
definition.

5 Designation
5.1 General
Motors designed according to this document are classified according to 5.2 to 5.7. The letters
used to specify the different designs stand for:
N: normal starting torque
H: high starting torque
Y: star-delta starting
E: motors utilizing extended / higher locked rotor apparent power and current to achieve a
higher efficiency class according to IEC 60034-30-1
5.2 Design N
Normal starting torque three-phase cage induction motors, intended for direct-on-line starting,
having 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, rated from 0,4 0,12 kW to 1 600 kW.

5.3 Design NE
Normal starting torque three-phase cage induction motors having higher locked rotor apparent
power than design N, intended for direct-on-line starting, having 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, rated from
0,12 kW to 1 600 kW.
5.4 Designs NY and NEY
Motors similar to designs N or NE, respectively, but intended for star-delta starting. For these
motors in star-connection, minimum values for T and T are 25 % of the values of design N or
l u
NE, respectively, see Table 1.

− 8 − IEC 60034-12:2016 RLV  IEC 2016

5.5 Design H
High starting torque three-phase cage induction motors with 4, 6 or 8 poles, intended for

direct-online starting, rated from 0,4 0,12 kW to 160 kW at a frequency of 60 Hz.

5.6 Design HE
High starting torque three-phase cage induction motors having higher locked rotor apparent
power than design H, with 4, 6 or 8 poles, intended for direct-online starting, rated from

0,12 kW to 160 kW at a frequency of 60 Hz.

5.7 Designs HY and HEY
Motors similar to designs H or HE, respectively, but intended for star-delta starting. For these
motors in star-connection, minimum values for T and T are 25 % of the values of design H or
l u
HE, respectively, see Table 5.
6 Design N requirements
6.1 Torque characteristics
The starting torque is represented by three characteristic features. These features shall be in
accordance with the appropriate values given in Table 1 or Table 6. The values in Table 1 and
Table 6 are minimum values at rated voltage. Higher values are allowed.
The motor torque at any speed between zero and that at which breakdown torque occurs shall
be not less than 1,3 times the torque obtained from a curve varying as the square of the
speed and being equal to rated torque at rated speed. However, for 2-pole motors with type of
protection ' e Ex eb – increased safety' having a rated output greater than 100 kW, the motor
torque at any speed between zero and that at which breakdown torque occurs shall not be
less than 1,3 times the torque obtained from a curve varying as the square of the speed and
being equal to 70 % rated torque at rated speed. For motors with type of protection ' e Ex eb',
the three characteristic torques shall be in accordance with the appropriate values given in
Table 6.
NOTE The factor 1,3 has been chosen with regard to an undervoltage of 10 % in relation to the rated voltage at
the motor terminals during the acceleration period.
6.2 Locked rotor current and apparent power
The locked rotor apparent power shall be not greater than the appropriate value given in
Table 2 or table 6. The values given in Table 2 and table 6 are independent of the number of

poles and are maximum values at rated voltage. For motors with type of protection 'e', locked
rotor apparent power shall be in accordance with the appropriate values given in table 6
specified in IEC 60079-7.
The locked rotor current is calculated from the locked rotor apparent power according to:
S P
l N
I = ×
l
P
3U
N
N
NOTE The advantage of specifying S /P instead of I /I is that the locked rotor current can be calculated from
l N l N
rated power and rated voltage only, not requiring to know the rated current which depends on quantities such as
power factor and efficiency that are usually not known in early stages of a project.

6.3 Starting requirements
Motors shall be capable of withstanding two starts in succession (coasting to rest between

starts) from cold conditions and one start from hot after running at rated conditions. The

retarding torque due to the driven load will be in each case proportional to the square of the

speed and equal to the rated torque at rated speed with the external moment of inertia given
in Table 4 or Table 7.
In each case, a further start is permissible only if the motor temperature before starting does
not exceed the steady temperature at rated load. However, for 2-pole motors with type of

protection 'e Ex eb – increased safety' having a rated output greater than 100 kW, the

retarding torque due to the driven load is proportional to the square of the speed and equal to

70 % rated torque at rated speed, with the external moment of inertia given in Table 7. After
this starting, load with rated torque is possible.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.
7 Design NY NE starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for design N, except that the limits for locked rotor apparent
power in Table 3 apply, as increasing efficiency values require physically increasing values
for locked rotor apparent power.
8 Designs NY and NEY starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for designs N or NE, respectively. In addition, however, a
reduced retarding torque is necessary as the starting torque in ‘star connection’ may be
insufficient to accelerate some loads to an acceptable speed.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.
9 Design H requirements
9.1 Starting torque
The starting torque is represented by three characteristic features. These features shall be in
accordance with the appropriate values given in Table 5. These values are minimum values at
rated voltage. Higher values are allowed.

9.2 Locked rotor current and apparent power
The locked rotor apparent power shall be not greater than the appropriate value given in
Table 2. The values in Table 2 are independent of the number of poles and are maximum
values at rated voltage.
The locked rotor current is calculated from the locked rotor apparent power according to the
formula given in 6.2.
9.3 Starting requirements
Motors shall be capable of withstanding two starts in succession (coasting to rest between
starts) from cold conditions, and one start from hot after running at rated conditions. The
retarding torque due to the driven load is assumed to be constant and equal to rated torque,
independent of speed, with an external moment of inertia of 50 % of the values given in
Table 4.
− 10 − IEC 60034-12:2016 RLV  IEC 2016

In each case, a further start is permissible only if the motor temperature before starting does

not exceed the steady temperature at rated load.

NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the

motor.
10 Design HY HE starting requirements

The starting requirements are as for design H, except that the limits for locked rotor apparent

power in Table 3 apply, as increasing efficiency values require physically increasing values

for locked rotor apparent power.

11 Designs HY and HEY starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for design H or HE, respectively. In addition, however, a
reduced retarding torque is necessary as the starting torque in ‘star connection’ may be
insufficient to accelerate some loads to an acceptable speed.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.

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.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 12: Starting performance of single-speed
three-phase cage induction motors

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 specifies the parameters for eight designs of starting performance of
single-speed three-phase 50 Hz or 60 Hz cage induction motors in accordance with
IEC 60034-1 that:
– have a rated voltage up to 1 000 V;
– are intended for direct-on-line or star-delta starting;
– are rated on the basis of duty type S1;
– are constructed to any degree of protection and explosion protection.
This document also applies to dual voltage motors provided that the flux saturation level is the
same for both voltages.
The values of torque, apparent power and current given in this document are limiting values
(that is, minimum or maximum without tolerance).
NOTE 1 It is not expected that all manufacturers will produce machines for all eight designs. The selection of any
specific design in accordance with this document will be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and the
purchaser.
NOTE 2 Designs other than the eight specified may be necessary for particular applications.
NOTE 3 It should be noted that values given in manufacturers' catalogues may include tolerances in accordance
with IEC 60034-1.
NOTE 4 The values tabled for locked rotor apparent power are based on r.m.s. symmetrical steady state locked
rotor currents; at motor switch on there will be a one-half cycle asymmetrical instantaneous peak current which
may range from 1,8 to 2,8 times the steady state locked rotor value. The current peak and decay time are a
function of the motor design and switching angle.

in speed.
Note 2 to entry: In addition to the steady-state asynchronous torques, harmonic synchronous torques, which are a
function of rotor load angle, will be present at specific speeds. At such speeds, the accelerating torque may be
negative for some rotor load angles. Experience and calculation show this to be an unstable operating condition
and therefore harmonic synchronous torques do not prevent motor acceleration and are excluded from this
definition.

5 Designation
5.1 General
Motors designed according to this document are classified according to 5.2 to 5.7. The letters
used to specify the different designs stand for:
N: normal starting torque
H: high starting torque
Y: star-delta starting
E: motors utilizing extended / higher locked rotor apparent power and current to achieve a
higher efficiency class according to IEC 60034-30-1
5.2 Design N
Normal starting torque three-phase cage induction motors, intended for direct-on-line starting,
having 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, rated from 0,12 kW to 1 600 kW.
5.3 Design NE
Normal starting torque three-phase cage induction motors having higher locked rotor apparent
power than design N, intended for direct-on-line starting, having 2, 4, 6 or 8 poles, rated from
0,12 kW to 1 600 kW.
5.4 Designs NY and NEY
Motors similar to designs N or NE, respectively, but intended for star-delta starting. For these
motors in star-connection, minimum values for T and T are 25 % of the values of design N or
l u
NE, respectively, see Table 1.
5.5 Design H
High starting torque three-phase cage induction motors with 4, 6 or 8 poles, intended for
direct-online starting, rated from 0,12 kW to 160 kW at a frequency of 60 Hz.

− 8 − IEC 60034-12:2016  IEC 2016
5.6 Design HE
High starting torque three-phase cage induction motors having higher locked rotor apparent
power than design H, with 4, 6 or 8 poles, intended for direct-online starting, rated from
0,12 kW to 160 kW at a frequency of 60 Hz.
5.7 Designs HY and HEY
Motors similar to designs H or HE, respectively, but intended for star-delta starting. For these
motors in star-connection, minimum values for T and T are 25 % of the values of design H or
l u
HE, respectively, see Table 5.
6 Design N requirements
6.1 Torque characteristics
The starting torque is represented by three characteristic features. These features shall be in
accordance with the appropriate values given in Table 1 or Table 6. The values in Table 1 and
Table 6 are minimum values at rated voltage. Higher values are allowed.
The motor torque at any speed between zero and that at which breakdown torque occurs shall
be not less than 1,3 times the torque obtained from a curve varying as the square of the
speed and being equal to rated torque at rated speed. However, for 2-pole motors with type of
protection 'Ex eb – increased safety' having a rated output greater than 100 kW, the motor
torque at any speed between zero and that at which breakdown torque occurs shall not be
less than 1,3 times the torque obtained from a curve varying as the square of the speed and
being equal to 70 % rated torque at rated speed. For motors with type of protection 'Ex eb',
the three characteristic torques shall be in accordance with the appropriate values given in
Table 6.
NOTE The factor 1,3 has been chosen with regard to an undervoltage of 10 % in relation to the rated voltage at
the motor terminals during the acceleration period.
6.2 Locked rotor current and apparent power
The locked rotor apparent power shall be not greater than the appropriate value given in
Table 2. The values given in Table 2 are independent of the number of poles and are
maximum values at rated voltage. For motors with type of protection 'e', locked rotor apparent
power shall be in accordance with the appropriate values specified in IEC 60079-7.
The locked rotor current is calculated from the locked rotor apparent power according to:
S P
l N
I = ×
l
P
3U
N
N
NOTE The advantage of specifying S /P instead of I /I is that the locked rotor current can be calculated from
l N l N
rated power and rated voltage only, not requiring to know the rated current which depends on quantities such as
power factor and efficiency that are usually not known in early stages of a project.
6.3 Starting requirements
Motors shall be capable of withstanding two starts in succession (coasting to rest between
starts) from cold conditions and one start from hot after running at rated conditions. The
retarding torque due to the driven load will be in each case proportional to the square of the
speed and equal to the rated torque at rated speed with the external moment of inertia given
in Table 4 or Table 7.
In each case, a further start is permissible only if the motor temperature before starting does
not exceed the steady temperature at rated load. However, for 2-pole motors with type of
protection 'Ex eb – increased safety' having a rated output greater than 100 kW, the retarding
torque due to the driven load is proportional to the square of the speed and equal to 70 %
rated torque at rated speed, with the external moment of inertia given in Table 7. After this
starting, load with rated torque is possible.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.
7 Design NE starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for design N, except that the limits for locked rotor apparent
power in Table 3 apply, as increasing efficiency values require physically increasing values
for locked rotor apparent power.
8 Designs NY and NEY starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for designs N or NE, respectively. In addition, however, a
reduced retarding torque is necessary as the starting torque in ‘star connection’ may be
insufficient to accelerate some loads to an acceptable speed.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.
9 Design H requirements
9.1 Starting torque
The starting torque is represented by three characteristic features. These features shall be in
accordance with the appropriate values given in Table 5. These values are minimum values at
rated voltage. Higher values are allowed.
9.2 Locked rotor current and apparent power
The locked rotor apparent power shall be not greater than the appropriate value given in
Table 2. The values in Table 2 are independent of the number of poles and are maximum
values at rated voltage.
The locked rotor current is calculated from the locked rotor apparent power according to the
formula given in 6.2.
9.3 Starting requirements
Motors shall be capable of withstanding two starts in succession (coasting to rest between
starts) from cold conditions, and one start from hot after running at rated conditions. The
retarding torque due to the driven load is assumed to be constant and equal to rated torque,
independent of speed, with an external moment of inertia of 50 % of the values given in
Table 4.
In each case, a further start is permissible only if the motor temperature before starting does
not exceed the steady temperature at rated load.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.
− 10 − IEC 60034-12:2016  IEC 2016
10 Design HE starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for design H, except that the limits for locked rotor apparent
power in Table 3 apply, as increasing efficiency values require physically increasing values
for locked rotor apparent power.
11 Designs HY and HEY starting requirements
The starting requirements are as for design H or HE, respectively. In addition, however, a
reduced retarding torque is necessary as the starting torque in ‘star connection’ may be
insufficient to accelerate some loads to an acceptable speed.
NOTE It should be recognized that the number of starts should be minimized since these affect the life of the
motor.

AVANT-PROPOS
1) La Commission Electrotechnique Internationale (IEC) est une organisation mondiale de normalisation
composée de l'ensemble des comités électrotechniques nationaux (Comités nationaux de l'IEC). L'IEC a pour
objet de favoriser la coopération internationale pour toutes les questions de normalisation dans les domaines
de l'électricité et de l'électronique. À cet effet, l'IEC – entre autres activités – publie des Normes
internationales, des Spécifications techniques, des Rapports techniques, des Spécifications accessibles au
public (PAS) et des Guides (ci-après dénommés "Publication(s) de l'IEC"). Leur élaboration est confiée à des
comités d'études, aux travaux desquels tout Comité national intéressé par le sujet traité peut participer. Les
organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'IEC, participent
également aux travaux. L'IEC collabore étroitement avec l'Organisation Internationale de Normalisation (ISO),
selon des conditions fixées par accord entre les deux organisations.
2) Les décisions ou accords officiels de l'IEC concernant les questions techniques représentent, dans la mesure
du possible, un accord international sur les sujets étudiés, étant donné que les Comités nationaux de l'IEC
intéressés sont représentés dans chaque comité d’études.
3) Les Publications de l'IEC se présentent sous la forme de recommandations internationales et sont agréées
comme telles par les Comités nationaux de l'IEC. Tous les efforts raisonnables sont entrepris afin que l'IEC
s'assure de l'exactitude du contenu technique de ses publications; l'IEC ne peut pas être tenue responsable de
l'éventuelle mauvaise utilisation ou interprétation qui en est faite par un quelconque utilisateur final.
4) Dans le but d'encourager l'uniformité internationale, les Comités nationaux de l'IEC s'engagent, dans toute la
mesure possible, à appliquer de façon transparente les Publications de l'IEC dans leurs publications nationales
et régionales. Toutes divergences entre toutes Publications de l'IEC et toutes publications nationales ou
régionales correspondantes doivent être indiquées en termes clairs dans ces dernières.
5) L’IEC elle-même ne fournit aucune attestation de conformité. Des organismes de certification indépendants
fournissent des services d'évaluation de conformité et, dans certains secteurs, accèdent aux marques de
conformité de l’IEC. L’IEC n'est responsable d'aucun des services effectués par les organismes de certification
indépendants.
6) Tous les utilisateurs doivent s'assurer qu'ils sont en possession de la dernière édition de cette publication.
7) Aucune responsabilité ne doit être imputée à l'IEC, à ses administrateurs, employés, auxiliaires ou
mandataires, y compris ses experts particuliers et les membres de ses comités d'études et des Comités
nationaux de l'IEC, pour tout préjudice causé en cas de dommages corporels et matériels, ou de tout autre
