Rotating Electrical Machines

Other Vehicle Electronics Standards cover rotating electrical machines (motors) for rail and road vehicles, starter motors, technical documentation of electrical and electronic systems, lamps, switching devices, and other vehicle electronics standards. This collection of topics serves to complement the previous categories, bringing to light smaller areas of standardization that do not normally receive as large of a focus. These standards are related to rotating electrical machines found in road vehicles.

IEEE 11-2000 (R2006)

IEEE Standard for Rotating Electric Machinery for Rail and Road Vehicles

This standard applies to rotating electric machinery which forms part of the propulsion and major auxiliary equipment on internally and externally powered electrically propelled rail and road vehicles and similar large transport and haulage vehicles and their trailers where specified in the contract.

IEC 60349-1 Ed. 2.0 b:2010

Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 1: Machines other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors

"IEC 60349-1:2010 is applicable to rotating electrical machines, other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors, forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The vehicles may obtain power either from an external supply or from an internal source. The object of this standard is to enable the performance of a machine to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other machines. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: - the limits valid for traction motors are now directly stated in this standard; - the methods described in the relevant ISO standards are now allowed."

IEC 60349-2 Ed. 3.0 b:2010

Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 2: Electronic converter-fed alternating current motors

IEC 60349-2:2010 applies to converter-fed alternating current motors forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The object of this part is to enable the performance of a motor to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other motors. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: - the limits valid for traction motors are now directly stated in this standard; - the methods described in the relevant ISO standards are now allowed.

IEC/TS 60349-3 Ed. 2.0 b:2010

Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 3: Determination of the total losses of converter-fed alternating current motors by summation of the component losses

IEC/TS 60349-3:2010 applies to machines complying with IEC 60349-2. The losses supplied at the fundamental frequency cannot be measured directly and so are derived from measurement of the fundamental frequency load current and the fundamental frequency no-load power input. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are corrections in some formulas in 3.2.1.2 and in Table A.2.

IEC 60349-4 Ed. 1.0 b:2012

Electric traction - Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles - Part 4: Permanent magnet synchronous electrical machines connected to an electronic converter

IEC 60349-4:2012 applies to converter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motors or generators (machines) forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The object of this part is to enable the performance of a machine to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for compa-rison with other machines. Particular attention is drawn to the need for collaboration between the designers of the machine and its associated converter as detailed in this standard.

IEC/TR 60785 Ed. 1.0 b:1984

Rotating machines for electric road vehicles

Applies to rotating electrical machines (traction motors and auxiliary motors) of electric road vehicles including hybrids, which are fed from the main traction battery. Lays down general rules for the design, installation and testing of traction motors and auxiliary motors which are mounted on electric road vehicles, and indicates the technical requirements and testing conditions for them. Has the status of a technical report.

IEC 60034-2-1 Ed. 3.0 b:2024

Rotating electrical machines - Part 2-1: Standard methods for determining losses and efficiency from tests (excluding machines for traction vehicles)

IEC 60034-2-1:2024 is available as IEC 60034-2-1:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 60034-2-1:2024 is intended to establish methods of determining efficiencies from tests, and also to specify methods of obtaining specific losses. This document applies to DC machines and to AC synchronous and induction machines of all sizes within the scope of IEC 60034-1 rated for mains operation. These methods may be applied to other types of machines such as rotary converters, AC commutator motors and single-phase induction motors. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 60034-2-1 published in 2014. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - Harmonization of layout and requirements with IEC 60034-2-2 and IEC 60034-2-3.
