ITEM IEC 60034-1,2,9,14 JEC-2137

1. Characteristics Only efficiency determination is All performances determination such as
Determination specified in IEC 60034-2 . efficiency, power factor, slip, torque and current
(IEC 60034-2) are specified.
The efficiency can be calculated from
the total losses which are assumed to be Characteristics are calculated by the equivalent
the summation of the losses determined circuit method based on the following three test
by the following tests. result.

1. Constant losses 1. Winding resistance measurement

a) No load test at rated voltage 2. No load test (rated and reduced voltage)
b) No load test at variable voltage 3. Locked rotor test
2. Load losses
Load test at full load under full *And additional load losses at full load
voltage or partial load under reduced are assumed to be equal to 0.5% of
voltage.(By actual loading test) rated power and vary as the square of
the primary current.
*And additional load losses at full load
are assumed to be equal to 0.5% of
rated power and vary as the square of
the primary current.

Test results Test results calculated by the equivalent circuit method in JEC-2137are very similar to
evaluation that by the method in IEC 60034-2.
Some samples for comparison are shown in Table 1.

2. Temperature rise Method of measurement of Basically method of measurement of

test temperature, determination of winding
(IEC 60034-1) temperature, limit of temperature rise
and so on are specified.
However, the loading method of
temperature rise test is not specified .
temperature, determination of winding
temperature and limit of temperature rise are
equivalent to that of IEC 60034-1.
And in JEC-2137, the following loading
methods are specified for temperature rise test.

1. Actual loading method

2. Equivalent loading method
a). Primary-superposed equivalent loading
method.
b). Secondary-superposed equivalent loading
method.
TMA normally use the 2.a) method.
*Superposed equivalent loading method:
The machine to be tested is operated at no load.
To the main power supply voltage, a low voltage
of a different frequency is superposed, and the
magnitude of it are adjusted so that the
primary current or input value is nearly equal
to the rated value.
Temperature is measured under this condition.

Test results Result by equivalent loading method is very similar or a little higher than that by actual
evaluation loading method.
Some samples for comparison are shown in Table 2.
Equivalent loading method is also described in IEEE-112, and also this method is under
examination by IEC committee.
Test facility for 1 Driven machines for load test and Arrangement of driven machine and coupling
&2 coupling are necessary, and it needs a work is not necessary.
long test period due to coupling work
with the load machine.

3. Vibration To check the balance of a motor alone,

(IEC 60034-14) the vibration velocity at the machine Same as left.
bearing shall be measured. The
machines shall be tested at no load with
the rated voltage and frequency.
And mounting condition, measurement
points, limit of vibration severity and so
on are specified.

4. High voltage test The high voltage test is carried out

(Dielectric test) between the windings under test and Same as left
(IEC 60034-1) frame of the machine. It is applied only
to a new and complete machine with
the specified voltage at shop. Normally
the high voltage test is carried out
immediately after temp. rise test.
If a second test is requested, the test
voltage is 80% of the specified voltage.

5. Noise Noise measurement test is to be carried Installation : it is desirable to carry out at a

measurement out at a place where sound reflections
(IEC60034-9) should have no significant influence,
and to minimize the influence of
vibrations, by mounting the machine on
suitably resilient mountings.
The machine is operated at rated
voltage and rated frequency under no
load condition.
place where the effects of background noise and
sound reflection from surroundings are
minimized and their change is small, and by
mounting the machine on an elastic body.
The machine is operated at rated voltage and
rated frequency under no load condition.
In addition, it is confirmed that abnormal noise
do not occur during acceleration and
deceleration.

TMA ELECTRIC CORPORATION would like to propose the testing method stated in
JEC-2137 since the results of characteristics determination and temperature rise test are
equivalent to the results by IEC 60034 and the other test procedures are almost same.
In addition, it is more practical in point of carrying out all test items without coupling
work with the driven machine.
