This part of IEC 60034 specifies efficiency classes for single-speed, three-phase, 50 Hz and
60 Hz, cage-induction motors that:
~ have a rated voltage UN up to 1 000 V;
NOTE The standard also applies to motors rated for two or more voltages and/or frequencies.
~ have a rated output PN between 0,75 kW and 375 kW;
~ have either 2, 4 or 6 poles;
~ are rated on the basis of either duty type $1 (continuous duty) or $3 (intermittent periodic
duty) with a rated cyclic duration factor of 80 % or higher;
~ are capable of operating direct on-line;
~ are rated for operating conditions in accordance with IEC 60034-1, Clause 6.
Motors with flanges, feet and/or shafts with mechanical dimensions different from
IEC 60072-1 are covered by this standard.
Geared motors and brake motors are covered by this standard although special shafts and
flanges may be used in such motors.
Excluded are:
~ Motors made solely for converter operation in accordance with IEC 60034-25.
~ Motors completely integrated into a machine (for example pump, fan and compressor) that
cannot be tested separately from the machine.
