Rotating electrical machines - Part 18-41: Qualification and quality control tests for partial discharge free (Type I) electrical insulation systems used in rotating electrical machines fed from voltage converters (IEC 60034-18-41:2014)

EN IEC 60034-18-41 defines criteria for assessing the insulation system of stator/rotor windings which are subjected to voltage-source pulse-width-modulation (PWM) drives. It applies to stator/rotor windings of single or polyphase AC machines with insulation systems for converter operation. It describes qualification tests and quality control (type and routine) tests on representative samples or on completed machines which verify fitness for operation with voltage source converters. This standard does not apply to: - rotating machines which are only started by converters; - rotating electrical machines with rated voltage ≤ 300 V r.m.s.; - rotor windings of rotating electrical machines operating at ≤ 200 V (peak).

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.

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 60034-18-41 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2: Rotating machinery. IEC 60034-18-41 cancels and replaces IEC/TS 60034-18-41 (2006). The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 2/1728/FDIS 2/1738/RVD

IEC 60034-18-41:2014 © IEC 2014 – 7 – INTRODUCTION The approval of electrical insulation systems for use in rotating electrical machines driven from voltage converters is set out in two IEC documents. They divide the systems into those which are not expected to experience partial discharge activity within specified conditions in their service lives (Type I) and those which are expected to withstand partial discharge activity in any part of the insulation system throughout their service lives (Type II). For both Type I and Type II insulation systems, the drive system integrator (the person responsible for co-ordinating the electrical performance of the entire drive system) shall inform the machine manufacturer what voltage will appear at the machine terminals in service. The machine manufacturer will then decide upon the severity of the tests appropriate for qualifying the insulation system. The severity is based on the impulse rise time, the peak to peak voltage and, in the case of Type II systems, the impulse repetition rate. After installation of the converter/machine system, it is recommended that the drive system integrator measures the phase/phase and phase/ground voltages between the machine terminals and ground to check for compliance. IEC 60034-18-41 The Type I systems are dealt with in this standard. They are generally used in rotating machines rated at 700 V r.m.s. or less and tend to have random wound windings. The procedures described here are directed at: – Qualification of the insulation system. – Type and routine testing of the complete windings of service machines. Before undertaking any testing, the machine manufacturer shall decide upon the level of severity that the system will be required to withstand. The severity is based on how large the voltage overshoot and how short the impulse rise time will be at the machine terminals. The machine designer then makes a choice from a table in which the range of expected overshoot voltage is divided into bands. Testing is performed at the extreme value of each band. A default value of 0,3 µs is attributed to the impulse rise time. Other values of impulse rise time or voltage overshoot are dealt with as special cases.
In qualification testing, the insulation system is used to construct various representative test objects. These are subjected to the range of tests described in IEC 60034-18-21 or IEC 60034-18-31 with the addition of a high frequency voltage test and a partial discharge test. For the latter, it may be necessary to use impulse test equipment, as described in IEC/TS 61934. If the test object is partial discharge free under the specified test conditions at the end of the sequence of testing, the insulation system is qualified for the severity band that has been selected. Type and optional routine tests are performed on complete windings to demonstrate that they are partial discharge free under sinewave or impulse voltage conditions (as appropriate) for the band of severity that the manufacturer has chosen. An impulse voltage insulation class is then assigned to the machine. A mechanism is described for dealing with special cases. IEC/TS 60034-18-42
The tests for qualification and acceptance of electrical insulation systems chosen for Type II rotating electrical machines are described in this technical specification. These insulation systems are generally used in rotating machines and tend to have form-wound coils, mostly rated above 700 V r.m.s. The qualification procedure is completely different from that used for Type I insulation systems and involves destructive ageing of insulated test objects under accelerated conditions. The rotating machine manufacturer requires a life curve for the insulation system that can be interpreted to provide an estimate of life under the service conditions with converter drive. Great importance is attached to the qualification of any stress grading system that is used and testing here should be performed under repetitive impulse conditions. If the insulation system can be shown to provide an acceptable life under the SIST EN 60034-18-41:2014
