BS EN 60034-29 applies to machines covered by IEC 60034-1 when they cannot be loaded to a specific condition (rated or otherwise). It is applicable to both motors and generators.
The object of BS EN 60034-29 is to provide various indirect load tests, the purpose of which is to determine the temperature rise of rotating electrical machines, including a.c. induction machines, a.c. synchronous machines and d.c. machines.
The test methods mentioned in BS EN 60034-29 provide means of measuring or estimating other parameters such as losses and vibration, but the methods are not designed specifically to provide such data.
BS EN 60034-29 on rotating electrical machines is helpful for:
Having access to reliable guidelines is essential to effectively prepare and use quality rotating electrical machines. BS EN 60034-29 provides manufacturers with the general test requirements along with the superposition method, equivalent load method and the preferred method which allows them to effectively manufacture and test rotating electrical machines.
BS EN 60034-29 provides users with efficient and standardized rotating electrical machines.
