Electric traction – Rotating electrical machines for rail and road vehicles – Part 1: Machines other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors - Edition 2.0
 N 60349-1

Annotation

Scope and object

This part of IEC 60349 is applicable to rotating electrical machines, other than electronic converter-fed alternating current motors, forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The vehicles may obtain power either from an external supply or from an internal source.

The object of this standard is to enable the performance of a machine to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other machines.

Where further testing is to be undertaken in accordance with IEC 61377-2, it may be preferable, to avoid duplication, that some type and investigation tests be carried out on the combined test bed.

NOTE 1 This standard also applies to machines installed on trailers hauled by electrically propelled vehicles.

NOTE 2 The basic requirements of this standard may be applied to rotating electrical machines for special purpose vehicles such as mine locomotives, but it does not cover flameproof or other special features that may be required.

NOTE 3 It is not intended that this standard should apply to machines on small road vehicles such as battery-fed delivery vehicles, works trucks, etc. Neither does it apply to minor machines such as windscreen wiper motors, etc. that may be used on all types of vehicles.

NOTE 4 Industrial type machines complying with the IEC 60034 series may be suitable for certain auxiliary applications.
