IEC 60034-18-32 Ed. 2.0 b – Rotating electrical machines – Part 18-32: Functional evaluation of insulation systems (Type II) – Electrical endurance qualification procedures for form-wound windings

This part of IEC 60034-18 describes qualification procedures for the evaluation of electrical endurance of insulation systems for use in rotating electrical machines using form-wound windings energized with sinusoidal power frequency voltage. The test procedures for the main wall insulation are comparative in nature, such that the performance of a candidate insulation system is compared to that of a reference insulation system with proven service experience. If no reference system is available, the diagram in Annex A is available for use. The qualification procedures of inverter duty insulation system for form-wound windings can be found in IEC 60034-18-42 or IEC 60034-18-41. A new and informative test procedure for the stress control system is introduced and defined in Annex B.
