Rotating electrical machines - Part 27-1: Off-line partial discharge measurements on the stator winding insulation of rotating electrical machines (IEC 60034-27-1:2017)

This part of IEC 60034 provides a common basis for:
– measuring techniques and instruments;
– the arrangement of test circuits;
– normalization and testing procedures;
– noise reduction;
– the documentation of test results;
– the interpretation of test results,
with respect to partial discharge off-line measurements on the winding insulation of rotating
electrical machines.
The measurement methods described in this document are applicable to stator windings of
machines with or without conductive slot coating and to the stator windings of machines made
with form wound or random wound windings. In special cases like high voltage rotor field
windings, this document is applicable as well. The measurement methods are applicable when
testing with alternating sinusoidal voltages from 0,1 Hz up to 400 Hz.
Interpretation guidelines are given in this document and are applicable only if all the following
requirements are fulfilled:
– Measurements performed with power frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, or when testing with
power supply within a frequency range of 45 Hz to 65 Hz.
– Form wound windings and winding components such as bars and coils.
– Winding with conductive slot coating. This is usually valid for machines with voltage rating
of 6 kV and higher.
For machines with random wound windings, form-wound windings without conductive slot
coating, and testing at frequencies differing from power frequencies, the interpretation
guidelines are not applicable. The testing procedures for off-line PD-measurements of this
document can be used for assessing the uniform quality of manufacturing or/and the trending
of these kind of windings as well as converter driven machine windings.
NOTE Testing of low voltage machines with so called Type I insulation systems is defined in reference [10]1.
Testing procedures for qualification of converter driven high voltage machines with so called Type II insulation
systems are dealt with in IEC 60034-18-42 (in addition to the optional electric tests described therein).

Machines électriques tournantes - Partie 27-1: Mesures à l'arrêt des décharges partielles effectuées sur le système d'isolation des enroulements statoriques des machines électriques tournantes (IEC 60034-27-1:2017)

La présente partie de l’IEC 60034 présente des modalités communes concernant:
- les techniques et les appareils de mesure;
- la mise en place des circuits d'essai;
- les procédures de normalisation et d'essai;
- la réduction du bruit;
- la documentation des résultats des essais;
- l'interprétation des résultats des essais;
pour les besoins des mesurages à l’arrêt des décharges partielles dans les systèmes d'isolation des enroulements des machines électriques tournantes.
Les méthodes de mesure décrites dans le présent document s’appliquent aux enroulements statoriques des machines avec ou sans revêtement d'encoches conducteur et aux enroulements statoriques des machines constitués avec des enroulements préformés ou des enroulements en vrac. Le présent document s’applique également dans des cas particuliers tels que des enroulements d’excitation rotorique haute tension. Les méthodes de mesure s’appliquent pour des essais effectués avec des tensions sinusoïdales alternatives comprises entre 0,1 Hz et 400 Hz.
Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices d'interprétation qui s’appliquent uniquement si toutes les exigences suivantes sont satisfaites:
- Mesurages effectués avec une fréquence industrielle de 50 Hz ou 60 Hz, ou lorsque les essais sont effectués avec une source d’alimentation comprise dans une plage de fréquences de 45 Hz à 65 Hz.
- Enroulements préformés et composants d’enroulement tels que des barres et des bobines.
- Enroulement avec un revêtement d'encoches conducteur. Ces exigences sont généralement valables pour les machines dont la tension assignée est supérieure ou égale à 6 kV.
Les lignes directrices d'interprétation ne s’appliquent pas aux machines avec enroulements en vrac et enroulements préformés sans revêtement d'encoches conducteur. Elles ne s’appliquent pas non plus aux essais effectués à des fréquences différentes des fréquences industrielles. Les procédures d’essai applicables aux mesurages à l’arrêt des DP spécifiés dans le présent document peuvent être utilisées pour évaluer la qualité uniforme de fabrication et/ou l’évolution de ces types d’enroulements, ainsi que les enroulements de machines entraînées par convertisseur.
NOTE L’essai des machines basse tension avec le système d’isolation appelé système de type 1 est défini à la référence [10]1. L’IEC 60034-18-42 traite des procédures d’essai de qualification des machines haute tension entraînées par convertisseur avec des systèmes d'isolation appelés systèmes de type II (outre les essais électriques facultatifs qui y sont décrits).

Električni rotacijski stroji - 27-1. del: Meritve delne praznitve izolacije statorskega navitja odklopljenih električnih rotacijskih strojev (IEC 60034-27-1:2017)

Ta del standarda IEC 60034 podaja skupno podlago za:
– merilne tehnike in instrumente;
– razporeditev preskusnih tokokrogov;
– postopke normalizacije in preskušanja;
– zmanjšanje hrupa;
– beleženje rezultatov preskusov;
– tolmačenje rezultatov preskusov
v povezavi z meritvami delne praznitve izolacije navitja odklopljenih električnih rotacijskih strojev.
Merilne metode, opisane v tem dokumentu, se uporabljajo za statorska navitja strojev s prevodno prevleko ali brez nje ter statorska navitja strojev, izdelanih iz predhodno oblikovanih ali naključnih navitij. Ta dokument se uporablja tudi v posebnih primerih, npr. za visokonapetostna rotorska navitja. Merilne metode se uporabljajo pri preskušanju z izmeničnimi sinusoidnimi napetostmi od 0,1 Hz do vključno 400 Hz.
V tem dokumentu so podane razlagalne smernice, ki se uporabljajo samo, če so izpolnjene naslednje zahteve:
– Meritve, izvedene z omrežno frekvenco 50 Hz ali 60 Hz, oziroma pri preskušanju z napajanjem v frekvenčnem območju med 45 Hz in 65 Hz.
– Predhodno oblikovana navitja in ovojne komponente, kot so palice in tuljave.
– Navitje s prevodno prevleko. To običajno velja za stroje z nazivno napetostjo, višjo od 6 kV.
Razlagalne smernice se ne uporabljajo za stroje z naključnimi navitji, stroje s predhodno oblikovanimi navitji brez prevodne prevleke in preskušanje pri frekvencah, ki se razlikujejo od omrežnih frekvenc. Preskusne postopke za meritve delne praznitve odklopljenih strojev v tem dokumentu je mogoče uporabljati za ocenjevanje enotne kakovosti proizvodnje in/ali določanje trendov teh vrst navitij ter navitij strojev, ki jih poganjajo pretvorniki.
OPOMBA: Preskušanje nizkonapetostnih strojev s t. i. izolacijskimi sistemi tipa I je opredeljeno v sklicu [10]1.
Preskusni postopki za vrednotenje visokonapetostnih strojev, ki jih poganjajo pretvorniki, s t. i. izolacijskimi sistemi tipa II so obravnavani v standardu IEC 60034-18-42 (skupaj z opisi izbirnih električnih preskusov).

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 27-1: Off-line partial discharge measurements
on the winding insulation

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.
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 60034-27-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
This International Standard cancels and replaces IEC TS 60034-27 (2006). It constitutes a
technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to IEC TS 60034-27 (2006) are as follows:
st
• In 1 version the scope was not well defined, and open to a too wide range of
measurement frequencies. That has been corrected.
st
• In 1 version pulse magnitude was defined in different ways. Now, 2 definitions are given,
one for each method.
st
• In 1 version the types of PD were erroneous. Especially the definition of the most critical
“slot discharges” has been improved.

INTRODUCTION
For many years, the measurement of partial discharges (PD) has been employed as a means
of assessing the quality of new insulation systems and the condition of aged insulation
systems. It is also considered as a means of detecting localized sources of PD in used
electrical winding insulation arising from operational stresses in service. Compared with other
dielectric tests (e.g. the measurement of dissipation factor or insulation resistance) the
differentiating character of partial discharge measurements allows PD sources within the
insulation system to be detected.
In connection with the servicing and overhaul of rotating machines, the measurement and
analysis of partial discharges can also provide information on:
– presence of ageing effects and potential defects in the insulating system;
– ageing processes;
– further measures and intervals between overhauls.
Although the PD testing of rotating machines has gained widespread acceptance, it has
emerged from several studies that not only are there different methods of measurement in
existence but also the criteria and methods of analysing and finally assessing the measured
data are often different and not comparable. Consequently, there is a need to give some
guidance to those users who are considering the use of PD measurements to assess the
condition of their insulation systems.
Partial discharge testing of stator windings can be divided into two broad groups:
a) off-line measurements, in which the stator winding is isolated from the power system and
a separate power supply is employed to energize the winding;
b) on-line measurements, in which the r

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 27-1: Off-line partial discharge measurements
on the winding insulation

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.
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 60034-27-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
This International Standard cancels and replaces IEC TS 60034-27 (2006). It constitutes a
technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to IEC TS 60034-27 (2006) are as follows:
st
• In 1 version the scope was not well defined, and open to a too wide range of
measurement frequencies. That has been corrected.
st
• In 1 version pulse magnitude was defined in different ways. Now, 2 definitions are given,
one for each method.
st
• In 1 version the types of PD were erroneous. Especially the definition of the most critical
“slot discharges” has been improved.
