IEC TS 60034-30-2:2016(E) specifies efficiency classes for variable speed rotating electric machines not covered in IEC 60034-30-1. The classification only covers machines designed for operation with sinusoidal fundamental current that are not designed to be operated direct on-line (grid), for example permanent magnet synchronous machines with and without additional reluctance torque, sinusoidal reluctance synchronous machines and synchronous machines with DC field windings.
Key words: Energy efficiency, Efficiency rating
