GB/T 997-2022 (Classification of types of construction, mounting arrangements and terminal box position (IM Code) for rotating electrical machines) is available as an English-translated PDF.
GB/T 997-2022 — This Document specifies the IM Code, a classification of types of construction, mounting arrangements and the terminal box position of rotating electrical machines. Two systems of classification are provided as follows: - Code I (see Clause 4): An alpha-numeric designation applicable to machines with endshield bearing(s) and only one shaft extension. - Code II (see Clause 5): An all-numeric designation applicable to a wider range of types of machines including types covered by Code I. The type of machine not covered by Code II is fully described in words. The relationship between Code I and Code II is given in Annex A.

Foreword
This Document was drafted as per the rules specified in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for
Standardization - Part 1: Rules for the Structure and Drafting of Standardizing Documents.
This Document replaced GB/T 997-2008 Rotating Electrical Machines - Classification of Types
of Construction, Mounting Arrangements and Terminal Box Position (IM Code). Compared
with GB/T 997-2008, the major technical changes of this Document are as follows besides the
structural adjustments and editorial modifications:
--- Delete the repeated description of the location of the junction box in Code 2 (see 3.5 of
the 2008 Edition);
--- Add the representation of the IM code when the shaft has an inclination angle (see 5.7 of
this Edition).
This Document equivalently adopted IEC 60034-7:2020 Rotating Electrical Machines - Part
7: Classification of Types of Construction, Mounting Arrangements and Terminal Box Position
(IM Code).
This Document made the following minimum editorial modifications:
--- In order to coordinate with the existing standards, change the standard name into
Classification of Types of Construction, Mounting Arrangements and Terminal Box
Position (IM Code) for Rotating Electrical Machines.
--- Revise the original typos in Tables 6 ~ 14 from "see 3.5" to "see 5.6".

assume the responsibility to identify these patents.
This Document was proposed by China Electric Equipment Industry Association.
This Document shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Electric
Rotating Machinery of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 26).

Rotating Electrical Machines
1 Scope
This Document specifies the IM Code, a classification of types of construction, mounting
arrangements and the terminal box position of rotating electrical machines.
Two systems of classification are provided as follows:
- Code I (see Clause 4): An alpha-numeric designation applicable to machines with
endshield bearing(s) and only one shaft extension.
- Code II (see Clause 5): An all-numeric designation applicable to a wider range of types of
machines including types covered by Code I.
The type of machine not covered by Code II is fully described in words.
The relationship between Code I and Code II is given in Annex A.
