5.1.1 Procedure 2
Replace the existing text by the following:
This procedure, using actual motors as test objects, shall be referred to as IEC 34-18-21,
Procedure 2.
5.1.2 General features
Replace the fourth paragraph by the following:
Even though actual motors are tested, the results may not be used to determine endurance
time in actual service in an absolute sense. The tests may be used as a means of classification
only by comparing insulation systems.
Page 25
5.3.2 Means of heating
Replace the first paragraph by the following:
The mode of heat generation is dictated by the type of motor being used in the test and the
laboratory equipment available. Higher than normal winding temperatures can be obtained by
increasing motor losses by such means as enlarging the air gap, starting and reversing each
motor, superimposition of direct current on the normal alternating current, or by increasing the
temperature of the air surrounding the motor. For temperature regulation during the heat
ageing portion of the cycle, the motors may be run at normal voltage and frequency with an
electrical control which automatically starts and stops or reverses the direction of rotation of
the motors at intervals. Other acceptable means of temperature control include automatic
voltage variation, adjustment of the surrounding air temperature, or combinations thereof.
Replace the third paragraph by the following:
Single-phase motors shall have at least 250 start-stop operations each day of the heat ageing
portion of the cycle. The starting winding of a single-phase motor normally operates at a much
higher current density than the main winding during starting. During each start it can reach a
temperature of 10 K to 30 K higher than the main winding. In order to ensure that the correct
emphasis is placed on the main winding portion of the insulation system, a reasonable number
of starts should be employed.
Replace, on page 27, the fourth paragraph by the following:
Polyphase motors shall have at least 1000 starts or reversals each day of the heat ageing
portion of the cycle. Often the electrical loss during reversal is used to maintain the elevated
temperatures, in which case the number of reversals may greatly exceed 1000 per day. At the
highest temperature test the total time of exposure is relatively short which results in a
relatively low number of reversals during the life of the test. At the lowest temperature, the time
of exposure can be 16 to 20 times as long as that of the highest level. A wide variation in total
number of starts would affect the slope of the time-temperature curve within a cycle. Thus, it is
recommended that the number of reversals at the low temperature be no greater than twice
those at the high temperature. Ideally, an equal number of reversals at each temperature
should be sought.

Remplacer, à la page 28, le second alinéa par ce qui suit:
Toutefois, les moteurs de grandes dimensions risquent d'être difficiles à déplacer et à placer
dans l'équipement utilisé pour les essais d'humidité, ou il se peut qu'un tel équipement n'existe
pas. Parmi les autres méthodes que l'on peut utiliser pour l'application d'humidité, on notera:
pose d'une enceinte autour du moteur, utilisation d'une chambre d'humidification classique ou
d'une chambre à brouillard.

La correction ne concerne que le texte anglais.

5.3.4 Mechanical stresses during the thermal ageing subcycle
Replace the first paragraph by the following:
Mechanical stress is obtained in tests on actual motors by the normal vibration of the motor
running and with starts or reversals, or both. There is mechanical shock from starting or
reversing. The vibration amplitude at twice the line frequency can be increased by enlarging the
air gap. Larger forces are present in the windings as a result of the high currents during
starting and reversing of the motors. In a test, these mechanical forces occur at elevated
temperatures.
5.4.1 Moisture test
Replace the first paragraph by the following:
A moisture test of at least 48 h shall be used, except that for totally enclosed machines
(degrees of protection IP44 or more) and for d.c. machines a moisture test is not mandatory
because it can be impracticable. Moisture shall be visible on the windings as droplets, without
puddles, during the moisture test. To ensure visible condensation, the insulation system should
be at a lower temperature than the dew point of the surrounding moisture-laden atmosphere at
all times. The preferred method of meeting this requirement is by the use of a condensation
test chamber with cooled test objects described in clause C.2 of annex C.
Replace, on page 29, the second paragraph by the following:
However, larger motors can be difficult to move and difficult to support in equipment for
moisture test, or such equipment is not available. Other methods of applying moisture include:
placing an enclosing hood around the motor, or using a conventional humidity cabinet or a fog
chamber.
5.4.2 Voltage test
Replace the second paragraph by the following:
The motors should be started and run immediately after the moisture test while the windings
are still wet. For machines that have to be reassembled prior to running, a power-frequency
high potential test should be applied at the highest rated voltage from windings to frame for 10
min while wet before assembly. During at least part of the thermal ageing subcycle the motors
are to be run at their highest rated nameplate voltage. A power source earthed through a
current limiting impedance should be used and the motor frame should be earthed so that
voltage stresses are present during the entire thermal ageing portion of the cycle. A detection
circuit for current to frame should be used to detect when insulation to the frame has failed.
