scope:

This part of IEC 60034 describes the design features and performance characteristics of polyphase cage induction motors specifically designed for use on voltage source converter supplies up to 1 000 V. It also specifies the interface parameters and interactions between the motor and the converter including installation guidance as part of a power drive system.

NOTE 1 For motors operating in potentially explosive atmospheres, additional requirements as described in the IEC 60079 series apply.

NOTE 2 This technical report is not primarily concerned with safety. However, some of its recommendations may have implications for safety, which should be considered as necessary.

NOTE 3 Where a converter manufacturer provides specific installation recommendations, they should take precedence over the recommendations of this technical report.
