scope:

1.1.1 This part of IEC 349 applies to convertor-fed alternating current motors forming part of the equipment of electrically propelled rail and road vehicles. The object of this part 2 of EN 60349 is to enable the performance of a motor to be confirmed by tests and to provide a basis for assessment of its suitability for a specified duty and for comparison with other motors. Where further testing is to be undertaken to EN 61377 "Combined testing of inverter-fed alternating current motors and their control", it may be preferable, to avoid duplication, that some type and investigation tests be carried out on the combined test bed.
