Foreword
The text of document 2/1315/FDIS, future edition 5 of IEC 60034-3, prepared by IEC TC 2, Rotating
machinery, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 60034-3 on 2005-05-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60034-3:1995.
The significant technical changes with respect to EN 60034-3:1995 are as follows:
– the document has been consolidated and completely restructured. It was rewritten to a
considerable extent;
– the section on air cooled generators has been combined with that on hydrogen-cooled and liquid
cooled generators. Different requirements so far valid for air cooled generators alone were
modified in such a way that the requirements are now strictly bound to the generator ratings but
not longer to the machine type. As an example for the harmonisation which took place the short
circuit ratio of the air cooled generators were adjusted to those for the other generators. The
separate cooler sections for air cooled generators were eliminated;
– the standard was generally adjusted to the progress in generator control. The state of the art
control systems do not require the previous large power factors. They were reduced to one
minimum value instead of several value classes providing the prospects of reduced generator
costs. It was considered that standards should not work as an unnecessary cost driving factor;
– a normative Annex A has been added dealing with precautions to be taken when using hydrogen
as a coolant on turbine–type synchronous generators. Formerly only a guide was provided. It was
considered that aspects dealing with the safe operation of hydrogen cooled generators must be
taken seriously and must become normative.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2006-02-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2008-05-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 3: Specific requirements for cylindrical rotor
synchronous machines


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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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 60034-3 has been prepared by IEC Technical Committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 1988. This edition
constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition are as follows:
• the document has been consolidated and completely restructured. It was rewritten to a
considerable extent;
• the section on air cooled generators has been combined with that on hydrogen-cooled and
liquid cooled generators. Different requirements so far valid for air cooled generators
alone were modified in such a way that the requirements are now strictly bound to the
generator ratings but not longer to the machine type. As an example for the harmonisation
which took place the short circuit ratio of the air cooled generators were adjusted to those
for the other generators. The separate cooler sections for air cooled generators were
eliminated;

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 3: Specific requirements for cylindrical rotor
synchronous machines



1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 applies to three-phase cylindrical rotor synchronous machines, having
rated outputs of 10 MVA (or MW) and above. It supplements the basic requirements for
rotating machines given in IEC 60034-1. The special requirements of machines continuously
fed by inverters are not covered by this standard.
Common requirements for all cylindrical rotor machines are prescribed together with specific
requirements for air, for hydrogen or for liquid cooled cylindrical rotor synchronous machines.
This part of IEC 60034 also gives the precautions to be taken when using hydrogen cooled
machines including
– rotating exciters driven by cylindrical rotor type machines;
– auxiliary equipment needed for operating the machines;
– parts of the building where hydrogen might accumulate.

following additions apply.
3.1

60034-3  IEC:2005 – 15 –
3.2

rotation at low speed to maintain thermal equilibrium of the steam turbine and/or rotor
4 General
4.1 General rules
Cylindrical rotor machines shall be in accordance with the basic requirements for rotating
machines specified in IEC 60034-1 unless otherwise specified in this standard. Wherever in
this standard there is reference to an agreement, it shall be understood that this is an
agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser.
4.2 Rated conditions
The rated conditions are given by the rated values of
– the apparent power for generators and compensators or the power at the shaft end for
motors;
– frequency;
– voltage;
– power factor;
– primary coolant temperature (40°C unless otherwise agreed upon);
and where applicable,
– site altitude;
– hydrogen pressure;
– range of hydrogen purity, see IEC 60034-1.
4.3 Rated voltage
The rated voltage shall be fixed by agreement.
4.4 Power factor
The power factor shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and manufacturer.
Standardised rated power factors at the generator terminals are 0,8, 0,85 and 0,9 overexcited.
Preferred power factors of motors are 0,95 overexcited and 1,0.
NOTE 1 Other values may be agreed upon, the lower the power factor the larger will be the machine.
NOTE 2 It is recommended that the generator should be capable of providing 0,95 underexcited power factor at
rated MVA.
4.5 Rated speed
The rated speed shall be
–1 –1
1 500 min or 3 000 min for 50 Hz machines;
–1 –1
1 800 min or 3 600 min for 60 Hz machines.
In cases of cylindrical rotor synchronous motors with six poles the speeds shall be
–1 –1
1 000 min for 50 Hz and 1 200 min for 60 Hz machines.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

60034-3  IEC:2005 – 17 –
4.6 Ranges of voltage and frequency
Machines shall be capable of continuous rated output at the rated power factor over the
ranges of ±5 % in voltage and ±2 % in frequency, as defined by the shaded area of Figure 1.
The temperature rise limits in Tables 7 and 8, or the temperature limits in Table 12 of
IEC 60034-1 shall apply at the rated voltage and frequency only.
NOTE 1 As the operating point moves away from the rated values of voltage and frequency, the temperature rise
or total temperatures may progressively increase. Continuous operation at rated output at certain parts of the
boundary of the shaded area causes temperature rises to increase by up to 10 K approximately. Machines will also
+3
carry output at rated power factor within the ranges of ±5 % in voltage and % in frequency, as defined by the
−5
outer boundary of Figure 1, but temperature rises will be further increased. Therefore, to minimize the reduction of
the machine's lifetime due to the effects of temperature or temperature differences, operation outside the shaded
area should be limited in extent, duration and frequency of occurrence. The output should be reduced or other
corrective measures taken as soon as practicable.
If an operation over a still wider range of voltage or frequency or deviations from rated
frequency and voltage of generators for combustion gas turbine application at peak load are
required, this should be the subject of an agreement.
NOTE 2 It is considered that overvoltage together with low frequency, or low voltage with over-frequency, are
unlikely operating conditions. The former is the condition most likely to increase the temperature rise of the field
winding. Figure 1 shows operation in these quadrants restricted to conditions that will cause the machine and its
transformer to be over- or under-fluxed by no more than 5 %. Margins of excitation and of stability will be reduced
under some of the operating conditions shown. As the operating frequency moves away from the rated frequency,
effects outside the generator may become important and need to be considered. As examples: the turbine
manufacturer will specify ranges of frequency and corresponding periods during which the turbine can operate; and
the ability of auxiliary equipment to operate over a range of voltage and frequency should be considered.
