Whereas IEC 60034-18-1 describes in detail the general aspects and procedures for the functional evaluation of an insulation system as well as the impact of different ageing factors IEC 60034-18-31 provides more details concerning the test procedure and the sub-cycles.
IEC 60034-18-1 remains the leading document for the whole IEC 60034-18 series and provides as well testing principles applicable to thermal endurance testing of insulation systems used in rotating electrical machines. The principles of IEC 60034-18-1 are followed unless otherwise stated in IEC 60034-18-31.
The test procedures described in IEC 60034-18-31 are intended to compare the thermal endurance performance of the mainwall insulation between conductor(s) and ground and, where required by the design of the coil or bar, the insulation between the turns. The test performance of a candidate insulation system is compared to the test performance of a reference insulation system with proven service experience. In general, the purpose of this standard is to evaluate the thermal classification of a candidate system.
A pure thermal classification is typically not sufficient to prove the service life. Also, other load factors can have a larger influence on ageing than thermal ageing. Thus, instead of performing the test described in this standard, the concept of “service proven” in operation based on records and references should be preferably used by the manufacturer to demonstrate compliance of the reference insulation system and the product design. This is because the entire winding elements (bars or coils) must account for simultaneous stress and physical factors. These include the winding itself, the fixation of the winding system within the slot, end winding insulation, its support system, cooling and ventilation conditions during operation, and heat conductivity across all areas.
The outcome of the thermal ageing test is comparative and does not allow an estimate to be made, e.g. by extrapolation or calculation, of a definite lifetime in service because a combination of ageing stresses or additional factors can intervene. The test is not intended to simulate the in-service mechanical stresses experienced by the end-winding bracing or support materials. It does not include the evaluation of thermo-mechanical deterioration by expansion and contraction of insulation during temperature cycling.
The thermal class for the insulation system refers to its maximum allowed (“hot spot”) temperature. The average temperature reached in service should not exceed the allowed temperature rise according to IEC 60034-1.
The thermal class of an insulation system is not directly related to equipment operating or service temperatures or to service life. The limiting temperature at which an insulation system may be operated depends upon stator and/or rotor winding and machine design, the degree and intermittency of the loading, the degree of reliability required, and the length of the life desired.
NOTE 1 "Non-contact" means that physical contact is not required for sensing.
This document is intended to be used with a subsequent part of IEC 61496 [1] that provides particular requirements based on the sensing technology.
EXAMPLE This document and part-2 are used for AOPDs; this document and part-3 are used for AOPDDRs.
NOTE 2 The applicability and relationship of this product specific standard with standards on functional safety of safety-related control systems and generic product standards is described in Annex C
This document does not specify the dimensions or configuration of the detection zone and its disposition in relation to hazards in any particular application, nor what constitutes a hazardous state of any machine. It is restricted to the functioning of the ESPE and how it interfaces with the machine.
While a data interface can be used to control optional safety related ESPE functions (Annex A), this document does not provide specific requirements. Requirements for these safety-related functions can be determined by consulting other standards (for example, IEC 61508 (all parts) [3], IEC 62046 [4] and ISO 13849-1 [5]).
This document can be relevant to applications other than those for the protection of persons, for example for the protection of machinery or products from mechanical damage. In those applications, different requirements can be appropriate, for example when the materials that have to be recognized by the sensing function have different properties from those of persons.
This document does not deal with requirements for ESPE functions not related to the protection of persons (e.g. using sensing unit data for navigation).
This document does not deal with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emission requirements.
This document does not provide specific measures for security aspects (e.g. physical, IT-security, cyber security).
This document does not specify the dimensions or configurations of the detection zone and its disposition in relation to hazardous parts for any particular application, nor what constitutes a hazardous state of any machine. It is restricted to the functioning of the ESPE and how it interfaces with the machine.
Excluded from this document are AOPDs employing radiation at wavelengths outside the range 400 nm to 1 500 nm.
This document can be relevant to applications other than those for the protection of persons, for example, the protection of machinery or products from mechanical damage. In those applications, additional requirements can be necessary, for example, when the materials that are to be recognized by the sensing function have different properties from those of persons.
This document does not deal with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) emission requirements.
RCCBs are intended to provide fault protection (previously referred to as protection against indirect contact), the exposed conductive parts of the installation being connected to an appropriate earth electrode. They are also intended to be used to provide protection against fire hazards due to a persistent earth fault current.
RCCBs having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA are used for fault protection and additional protection in the case of failure of the protective provisions against electric shock.
This document applies to RCCBs performing simultaneously the functions of detection of the residual current, of comparison of the value of this current with the residual operating value and of opening of the protected circuit when the residual current exceeds this value.
RCCBs are intended to be operated by ordinary or uninstructed persons and designed not to require maintenance.
The requirements of this document apply for standard conditions (see 7.1). Additional requirements can be necessary for RCCBs used in locations which have severe environmental conditions. RCCBs within the scope of this document are intended for use in an environment with pollution degree 2 (see 7.3) and overvoltage category III.
RCCBs are suitable for isolation.
Special precautions (e.g. surge protective devices) can be necessary when excessive overvoltages are likely to occur on the supply side (for example in the case of supply through overhead lines, see IEC 60364-4-44 and IEC 60364-5-53).
RCCBs are suitable for use in IT systems.
RCCBs of the general type are resistant to current surges, including the case where surge voltages (as a result of switching transients or induced by lightning) cause loading currents in the installation without occurrence of flashover.
RCCBs of type S are considered to be sufficiently resistant against unwanted tripping even if the surge voltage causes a flashover and a follow-on current occurs.
Particular requirements are necessary for RCCBs intended to be used at frequencies other than 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
For RCCBs incorporated in, or intended for association with socket-outlets only, the requirements of this document can be used, as far as applicable, in conjunction with the requirements of IEC 60884-1 or the national requirements of the country where the product is placed on the market.
This document does not apply to:
– RCCBs the current setting of which is adjustable without a tool;
– RCCBs including batteries.
This document is not intended to be used alone; it is intended to be used in conjunction with the relevant product standard, IEC 61008-2-1 or IEC 61008-2-2.
