What is BS EN 60034-22 - Rotating electrical machines about?
BS EN 60034-22 is a British standard which establishes the principal characteristics of a.c. generators under the control of their voltage regulators when used for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine driven generating set applications and supplements the requirements given in IEC 60034-1.
BS EN 60034-22 covers the use of such generators for land and marine use, but excludes generating sets used on aircraft or used to propel land vehicles and locomotives.
Who is BS EN 60034-22 - Rotating electrical machines for?
BS EN 60034-22 on rotating electrical machines is useful for:
- Power plants
- Manufacturing industries
- Engineering industries
- Offshore industries
Why should you use BS EN 60034-22 - Rotating electrical machines?
Having access to the characteristics of a.c. generators under the control of their voltage regulators is essential to ensure safe and effective means of application. BS EN 60034-22 provides manufacturers with the limits of temperature and temperature rise, along with the special load conditions, which allows them to prepare and use quality rotating electrical machines.
BS EN 60034-22 ensures the users efficient functioning of rotating electrical machines.
