scope:

This part of IEC 60349 applies to converter-fed permanent magnet synchronous motors or generators (machines) forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. This standard is derived from IEC 60349-2 changing the subject to permanent magnet synchronous machines. The object of this part is to enable the performance of a machine to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other machines. Where further testing is to be undertaken in accordance with a combined test, it may be preferable, that some type and investigation tests be carried out on the combined test bed, to avoid duplication. Particular attention is drawn to the need for collaboration between the designers of the machine and its associated converter as detailed in 5.1.
