FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees) The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields To this end and in addition to other activities the IEC publishes International Standards
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 The IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations
The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES
Part 7 Classification of types of construction
and mounting arrangements (IM Code)
SECTION 1 SCOPE AND DEFINITIONS
11 Scope
This part of IEC 34 specifies the IM code, a classification of types of construction and
mounting arrangements of rotating electrical machines
Two systems of classification are provided as follows
An alpha-numeric designation applicable to machines Code 1 (see section 2)
with endshield bearing(s) and only one shaft extension
An all-numeric designation applicable to a wider range of Code II (see section 3)
types of machines including types covered by Code I
The type of machine not covered by Code II should be fully described in words
The relationship between Code I and Code II is given in annex A
12 Definitions
of IEC 34, the following definitions apply
rt
For the purposes of this pa
The arrangement of machine components with regard to
1 2 1 type of construction:
fixings, bearing arrangement and shaft extension (IEV 411-13-34)*
The orientation on site of the machine as the whole with
2 2 mounting arrangement:
1
regard to shaft alignment and position of fixings (IEV 411-13-35)
ion of a shaft extending beyond an extreme bearing
A po rt
1 2 3 shaft extension:
(IEV 411-13-07)
NOTE - The bearing may be on the machine itself or be part of an assembly comprising a machine and
(an) additional bearing(s)

1 2 4 drive-end of a machine (D-end): That end of the machine which accomodates the
shaft end (IEV 411-13-36)
NOTE - This is normally the driving end of a motor or the driven end of a generator
Where for some machines the above definition is inadequate, the D-end is defined as
follows
Machine with two shaft extensions of different diameter the end with the larger
a)
shaft diameter,
b) Machine with a cylindrical shaft extension and a conical shaft extension of the same
diameter the end with cylindrical shaft extention,
c) Machine with other arrangements according to IEC 34-8 if applicable, otherwise by
agreement
NOTE - The outer diameter of a forged on flange is taken to be the diameter of the shaft extension
1 2 5 non-drive end of the machine (N-end): That end of the machine opposite to the
drive end (IEV 411-13-37)
SECTION 2 CODE I (ALPHA-NUMERIC DESIGNATION)
2 1 Designation of machines with horizontal shafts
In Code I, a machine with a horizontal shaft is designated by the Code letters IM (Inter-
national Mounting), followed by a space, the letter B and one or two numerals, as shown
in table 1
