ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 14: Mechanical vibration of certain machines
with shaft heights 56 mm and higher – Measurement,
evaluation and limits of vibration severity

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60034-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 2:
Rotating machinery.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition, published in 2003, and its
amendment 1, published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are:
a) 6.2 is significantly changed to better explain the definition “free suspension”.
b) 6.3: a second method of rigid mount is added since the first method is not always possible
on the test floor.
c) 7.1: an improved option for shaft key is defined.

IEC 60034-14:2018 © IEC 2018 – 5 –
d) Clause 8: considerable effort to harmonize with NEMA MG 1 and IEEE 841 and API 541,
and also establish levels which are achievable and more in line with best practices.
Table 1 is reduced to two shaft-height range sections.
e) 8.2: definition of twice line frequency simplified along with Figure 7 added.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
2/1906/FDIS 2/1914/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60034 series, published under the general title Rotating electrical
machines, can be found on the IEC website.
NOTE For A table of cross-references of all IEC TC 2 publications can be found in the IEC TC 2 dashboard on the
IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINES –

Part 14: Mechanical vibration of certain machines
with shaft heights 56 mm and higher – Measurement,
evaluation and limits of vibration severity

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60034 specifies the factory acceptance vibration test procedures and
vibration limits for certain electrical machines under specified conditions, when uncoupled
from any load or prime mover.
It is applicable to DC and three-phase AC machines, with shaft heights 56 mm and higher and
–1
a rated output up to 50 MW, at operational speeds from 120 min up to and including
–1
15 000 min .
This document is not applicable to machines mounted in situ (on site), three-phase
commutator motors, single-phase machines, three-phase machines operated on single-phase
systems, vertical waterpower generators, turbine generators greater than 20 MW and
machines with magnetic bearings or series-wound machines.
NOTE For machines measured in situ, refer to applicable parts of ISO 20816, ISO 10816 and ISO 7919.
