Rotating electrical machines - Part 9: Noise limits (IEC 60034-9:2003, modified)

This part of IEC 60034:
– specifies test methods for the determination of sound power level of rotating electrical machines;
– specifies maximum A-weighted sound power levels for factory acceptance testing of rotating electrical machines in accordance with IEC 60034-1, having methods of cooling according to IEC 60034-6 and degrees of protection according to IEC 60034-5, and having the following characteristics:
• standard design, either a.c. or d.c., without additional special electrical, mechanical, or acoustical modifications intended to reduce the sound power level;
• rated output from 1 kW (or kVA) up to and including 5 500 kW (or kVA);
• speed not greater than 3 750 min−1.
Excluded are a.c. motors supplied by converters. For these conditions see IEC 60034-17 for guidance. The object of this standard is to determine maximum A-weighted sound power levels, LWA in decibels, dB, for airborne noise emitted by rotating electrical machines of standard design, as a function of power, speed and load, and to specify the method of measurement and the test conditions appropriate for the determination of the sound power level of the machines to provide a standardized evaluation of machine noise up to the maximum specified sound power levels. This standard does not provide correction for the existence of tonal characteristics.
Sound pressure levels at a distance from the machine may be required in some applications, such as hearing protection programs. Information is provided on such a procedure in Clause 7 based on a standardized test environment.
NOTE 1 This standard recognizes the economic reason for the availability of standard noise-level machines for use in non-critical areas or for use with supplementary means of noise attenuation.
NOTE 2 Where sound power levels lower than those specified in Tables 1 or 2 are required, these should be agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser, as special electrical, mechanical, or acoustical design may involve additional measures.

Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60034-9:2003, prepared by IEC TC 2, Rotating machinery,
together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 2,
Rotating machinery, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60034-9
on 2005-03-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60034-9:1997.
It includes the following significant technical changes:
– it reduces the no-load noise limits for single-speed, cage-induction motors according to Table 2;
– it provides informative guidance on
– the measurement surface to be used during some tests,
– a method for the determination of an average sound pressure level,
– an indication of "uncertainty" based upon the category of test procedure.
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) 2006-03-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2008-03-01
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60034-9:2003 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
4 Methods of measurement
4.1 Replace the note by:
NOTE  It is recommended that the parallelepiped method be used for all electrical machines.
5 Test conditions
5.2 Replace item b) by:
b) Machines shall be tested in their operating position and in case of designs for several
distinct speeds or for a speed range at that speed which generates the greatest noise.
Delete item f) and rename item g) to become item f).
7 Determination of sound pressure level
Replace the first paragraph by:
Sound pressure levels are not required as part of this standard. If requested, an A-weighted
sound pressure level may be determined from the test readings (see 4.1). Only if tested
sound pressure values are not available an A-weighted sound pressure level may be
determined from the sound power level as follows:
Replace the last paragraph by:
S is the area in m² of a parallelepiped surface enveloping the machine at a distance from
the machine of 1 m according to ISO 3744.
Delete the two columns headed "Shaft height" and "Surface area, S".

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –
Part 9: Noise limits
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 60034-9 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 1997. This edition
includes the following significant technical changes:
• this edition reduces the no-load noise limits for single-speed, cage-induction motors
according to Table 2;
• it also provides informative guidance on
– the measurement surface to be used during some tests,
– a method for the determination of an average sound pressure level,
– an indication of “uncertainty” based upon the category of test procedure.
