What is BS EN 60034-1 - Rotating electrical machines about?
The EN 60034 series is a European Standard series that covers rotating electrical machines and their requirements.
BS EN 60034-1 is the first part of EN 60034, and is applicable to all rotating electrical machines except those covered by other IEC standards, for example, IEC 60349.
Machines within the scope of BS EN 60034-1 may also be subject to superseding, modifying or additional requirements in other publications, for example, IEC 60079 and IEC 60092.
Note: If particular clauses of BS EN 60034-1 are modified to meet special applications, for example, machines subject to radioactivity or machines for aerospace, all other clauses apply insofar as they are compatible.
Who is BS EN 60034-1 - Rotating electrical machines for?
BS EN 60034-1 on rotating electrical machines is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of rotating electrical machines
- Safety certification providing entities for rotating electrical machines
- Dealers and distributors of rotating electrical machines
- Designers of rotating electrical machines
- Regulatory authorities
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 60034-1- Rotating electrical machines?
A stator, rotor, and the air gap between them make up a rotating electrical machine. Windings can be found on both the stator and the rotor. The stem connects to the motor and any other loads, and the rotor is put into it.
BS EN 60034-1 provides you with guidance on rating site operating conditions, electrical operating conditions, and thermal performance tests for rotating electrical machines.
If you are a manufacturer or designer of rotating electrical machines, adopting rating and performance requirements in accordance with BS EN 60034-1 enables you to design and manufacture efficient rotating electrical machines that meet the safety requirements.
The guidelines in BS EN 60034-1 assist you assess the reliability of rotating electrical machines and plan a accordingly.
