What is BS EN 60034‑12 - Rotating electrical machines about ?
BS EN 60034‑12 is a European standard that discusses the starting performance of single-speed three-phase cage induction motors for rotating electrical machines. Electrical machines can be used for different ranges of speed. It can be used as a motor particularly in traction, electrical vehicles, etc. or as generators in power stations, wind turbines, etc.
BS EN 60034‑12 specifies the parameters for eight designs of starting performance of single-speed three-phase 50 Hz or 60 Hz cage induction motors in accordance with IEC 60034-1 that:
- Have a rated voltage of up to 1 000 V
- Are intended for direct-on-line or star-delta starting
- Are rated on the basis of duty type S1
- Are constructed to any degree of protection and explosion protection.
NOTE: BS EN 60034‑12 also applies to dual voltage motors provided that the flux saturation level is the same for both voltages.
Who is BS EN 60034‑12 - Rotating electrical machines for ?
BS EN 60034‑12 on rotating electrical machines applies to:
- Manufacturer of electric motor/ rotating machines
- Quality testing personnel
- Electrical engineer
Why should you use BS EN 60034‑12 - Rotating electrical machines ?
The rotating electrical machine consists of a stator, rotor and the air gap between them. The stator and rotor have windings. The rotor is installed into the stem, and the stem connects to the motor and any other loads. The windings are there to carry the electrical current that generates magnetic fields for the electrical load. The closed loops for voltages can be generated there.
BS EN 60034‑12 navigates you through the three-phase induction motor, an electromechanical energy conversion device that helps you convert three-phase input electrical power into output mechanical power for rotating electrical machines.
BS EN 60034‑12 guides you for a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor, a type of three-phase induction motor that helps you function based on the principle of electromagnetism.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 60034‑12, you can efficiently provide the requirements and performance for three-phase cage induction motors for rotating electrical machines.
