Applicable Standards for Induction Motor (Rotating Machines)

     Applicable Standards for Induction Motor (Rotating Machines)

In this blog we learn about standards. Different types of standards & their uses. Basically standards is a level of quality or sometimes it used to as measure, norm or model in comparative evaluation. Also standard is limit, or rule, approved and monitored for compliance by an authoritative agency or professional or recognized body as a minimum acceptable benchmark. For manufacturing or technical specifications contained in a document that lays characteristics of a product such as levels of quality, performance, safety, or dimensions. Standards may include or deal exclusively with terminology, symbols, testing and methods, packaging, or labeling requirements as they apply to a product. For Rotating Machine we are used different types of standards such as   IS (Indian Standards), IEC (International Electro technical Commission), NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)  etc.

Following are the applicable standards:

1.      IS : 325 – Three Phase Induction Motor Specification

2.      IS : 900 – Code pf practice for installation & maintenance of Induction motor

3.      IS : 7816  –  Guide for Testing of Insulation Resistance of Rotating Machine 

4.      IS : 1231 – Dimension of   Foot mounted A.C. Induction Motor

5.      IS : 2223 – Dimension of Flange mounted A.C. Induction Motor

6.      IS : 12824 – Types of Duty & Classes of Rating Assigned to Rotating Electric Machines

7.      IS : 4029 – Guide for testing Three phase Induction Motor

8.      IS/IEC 60034-1 ­–­ Rating & Performance of rotating machine

9.      IS : 12802 –  Temperature Rise Measurement of Rotating Electric Machines

10.  IS : 15999 (Part 2/ Sec 1) or IES 60034 -2-1 – Rotating Electric Machine (Standard methods for determining losses & efficiency from test )

11.  IS : IEC 60034 -29 – Rotating Electrical Machines - Equivalent Loading & Superposition Techniques – Indirect Testing to determine Temperature Rise 

12.  IS 12615 – Energy Efficient  Three Induction Motor ( Three Phase Squirrel Cage Motor )

13.  IS 4691 , IS/IEC 60034-5 – Degree of protection provided by encloses for Rotating  Electric Machines

14.  NEMA MG 1 ( 2011) – This standard give the criteria for  measurement of shaft voltage. For shaft voltage as per this standard part 14 is given 500 m Volt peak to peak.

15.  IS : 6362 -  Method of cooling for Rotating Electric Machine

16.  IS 12065 - Limit of Noise level of Rotating Electric Machine

17.  IS/IEC 60034 -5 - Degree of Protection ( IP Code Classification )

18.   IS 12075 / IEC 60034-14 -  Limit of Vibration level of Rotating Electric Machine

19.  IS 13529 – Effect of Unbalance Voltages on performance of  Three Phase Cage Induction Motors

20.  IEC 60072 - Dimension & output rating of Rotating Electric Machines

21.  IS 13555 – Guide for Selection & Application of 3-phase Induction Motors for different types of Driven Equipment

22.  IS 60034-8 – Terminal Marking & Direction of Rotation

23.  JEC 37 – (Japanese Electro technical committee) - This standard is also used in Japan or some customer like EIL. This standard cover the all above standards which is required for induction motor like testing ect.

This are the some common applicable standards  used for Induction motor or rotating machines. There are many other standards which are available for certification testing or special testing .That we are cover in other blog.
