Description / Abstract:
These test procedures include recommendations for conducting and
reporting generally acceptable tests to determine the performance
characteristics of conventional direct-current machines. The tests
are in two categories as described in 1.1 and 1.2.
Tests of Direct-Current Motors and Generators Designed
for Essentially Ripple-Free Operation. For operation to be
classed as ripplefree in accordance with this test procedure, the
peak-to-peak value of the alternating component of the current
shall be less than 6%, or the rms value less than 2%) of the rated
current of the test machine at any of the test conditions provided
that the lowest alternating frequency component of the current is
50 Hz or greater.
Tests of Direct-Current Motors Designed for Use with
Rectifier Power Supplies. When a test procedure applies to
a dc motor supplied with rectified power not meeting the
essentially ripple-free criteria of 1.1, the procedure will be
identified by the following opening statement: "On rectified power
.
A brief bibliography of technical papers relating to the
operation of dc motors on rectified power is located in Section
8.
Other Test Procedures. It is recognized that
there may be test procedures other than those described herein.
When more than one procedure can be used, local conditions and the
degree of precision desired will determine the procedure to be
used. This guide shali not be interpreted or construed as requiring
the performance of any or all of the tests herein, in any given
transaction.
