1 Scope
This Part specifies the assessment criteria for stator / rotor winding insulation systems
fed from voltage-source pulse-width-modulation (PWM). This Part is applicable to the
stator / rotor winding insulation systems of single-phase or multi-phase AC motors
powdered by converters.
2 Normative References
The following documents are indispensable to the application of this document. In
terms of references with a specified date, only versions with a specified date are
applicable to this document. In terms of references without a specified date, the latest
version (including all the modifications) is applicable to this document.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
Partial discharge extinction voltage refers to the voltage when the voltage applied to
the sample gradually decreases from a certain relatively high value where partial
discharge is detected to the voltage where no partial discharge can be detected in the
test circuit.
4 Motor Terminal Voltage Generated during Converter Operation
Due to the switching characteristics of power semiconductor devices, the rise time of
the current converter output voltage can be within the range of 0.05 µs ~ 2 µs. IEC/TS
61800-8 may be used to calculate the motor terminal voltage fed from the converter,
and the motor terminal voltage depends on several characteristics of the power supply
system, such as.
5 Electrical Stresses in the Insulation System of Motor Windings
Due to the space and surface discharge generated in the insulation components, the
electrical stress depends on not only the transient voltage itself, but also the peak
voltage that the previous insulation withstands. Experience has shown that within a
certain effective limit of the various frequency power supply system, the stress
parameter is the peak to peak voltage.
6 Types of Motor Insulation
This Part and IEC/TS 60034-18-42 divide winding insulations into two types. Type I
winding insulation (Figure 5) is not expected to withstand PD at any part of the
insulation during its life.
7 Stress Categories for Type I Insulation Systems Used in Motors Fed from Converters
In order to obtain sufficient reliability of the electric drive system, the strength of the
motor winding insulation system shall be coordinated with the electrical stress that it
bears. In other words,
8 Qualification and Type Tests of Type I Insulation Systems
For Type I insulation systems, partial discharge test needs to be conducted to prove
that there is no partial discharge[5][6]. The complete winding or motor is subjected to a
voltage suitable for the selected stress category (Table 4), multiplied by the safety
factor (Table B.2).
9 Test Equipment
In accordance with IEC/TS 61934, use impulse voltage for PD test; the background
noise level is expressed in mV. In accordance with IEC/TS 61934, record the
background noise level and the sensitivity.
