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.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
