What is BS EN 60034-2-1 ‒ Losses and efficiency of rotating electrical machines about ?
BS EN 60034-2-1 is a part of an international multi-series standard that deals with the aspects of rotating electrical machines.
BS EN 60034-2-1 is intended to establish methods of determining efficiencies from tests, and also to specify methods of obtaining specific losses. It applies to DC machines and to AC synchronous and induction machines of all sizes within the scope of IEC 60034-1.
BS EN 60034-2-1 stipulates the technical specifications such as related terms and definitions, symbols, abbreviations, basic requirements, test methods for the determination of the efficiency of induction machines, test methods for the determination of the efficiency of synchronous machines, test methods for the determination of the efficiency of DC machines of rotating electrical machines.
Who is BS EN 60034-2-1 ‒ Losses and efficiency of rotating electrical machines for ?
BS EN 60034-2-1 on losses and efficiency of 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
Why should you use BS EN 60034-2-1 ‒ Losses and efficiency of rotating electrical machines ?
The rotating electrical machine consists of a stator, rotor, and air gap between them. The stator and the rotor consist of winding in which the rotor is installed in the stem and then the stem connects to the motor and other loads.
BS EN 60034-2-1 recommends detailed guidelines for technical specifications such as basic requirements to help users determine the direct and indirect efficiency as well as the uncertainty that occurs while determining the efficiency of rotating electrical machines. It proves to be very helpful for the user as it is a major aspect of the usefulness of a machine.
BS EN 60034-2-1 also gives you testing methods for field or routine testing and various test methods for the determination of the efficiency and losses of rotating electrical machines such as induction machines, synchronous machines, and DC machines under different loads and operating conditions, which helps the users to assess and conclude the overall performance of the electrical machines in all working situations.
Thus, BS EN 60034-2-1 gives a clear view about the efficiency of any rotating electrical machine to the users, which helps them to understand the full working potential of the machines and they can convert the input to useful output energy or work.
