English to German Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng IEEE Standard 1566

Aus einer kurzen (monatlichen) Kolumne über E-Motoren und Antriebe, diesmal überschrieben mit: "A new standard for large drives"

O-Ton:
"Seven years ago, petrochemical engineers within the IEEE decided that a standard was needed to enable drive purchasers to deal with such concerns.
The result, published in 2006, is IEEE Standard 1566 for "Performance of Adjustable Speed A-C Drives Rated 375 kW and Larger," and covering only ratings of 750 volts and above.
The scope involves the entire drive system consisting of switchgear, input transformer if any, controls, bypass, and motor (either induction or synchronous).
Compatibility between drive and motor is assured by vesting total system responsibility in a single vendor.

While placing no restrictions on basic drive topology, the standard presents detailed requirements for drive enclosure (such as the ability to contain a ****bolted fault****); installation; grounding and bonding; solid-state component ratings and cooling; loading capability; harmonic generation; behavior during utility supply disturbances including voltage sags, swells, and transient surges; control, alarm, and protective functions; testing; startup; and safety..."
