IEC 60136:2024(Main)

Dimensions, marking and testing of carbon brushes and dimensions of brush-holders for electrical machinery

IEC 60136:2024 applies primarily to brushes and brush-holders for cylindrical commutators and slip rings for electrical rotating machines. Some clauses of this document may cover other configurations, such as flat commutators or plain disks. It defines the dimensions of brushes and their components, together with their tolerances:
- dimensions of brush block (t, a, r),
- angles α and β,
- chamfer,
- flexibles (shunts),
- standard terminals.
It also covers the conventional designation of principal dimensions, the marking of brushes and the testing methods for the qualification of brushes after their manufacturing (except the brush grade material, covered by IEC 60413). This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1986 and Amendment 1:1995. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
Please refer to the Foreword of the document for a comprehensive listing of the changes with respect to the previous edition.

Rotating electrical machines - Test methods and apparatus for the measurement of the operational characteristics of brushes

IEC 60773:2021 applies to test methods for the measurement of the operational characteristics of brushes designed to operate on commutating and slip ring machines under specified test conditions. By extension some tests may be relevant for other kinds of sliding electrical contacts for electrical appliances.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1983. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- the clause structure has been modified on the view point of a laboratory testing procedure. The new sequence is as follows: test rig specification, general testing procedure, and specific procedure for each operational characteristic
- a new clause has been added to introduce the black-band test for the characterisation of the brush grades for DC machines.

It applies to OAs using optically pumped fibres (OFAs based on either rare-earth doped fibres or on the Raman effect), semiconductors (SOAs), and planar optical waveguides (POWAs). This document does not apply to polarization-maintaining optical amplifiers. This document defines uniform requirements for accurate and reliable measurements, by means of the electrical spectrum analyzer test method, of the following OA parameters, as defined in IEC 61291-1, Clause 3:
a) nominal output signal power;
b) gain;
c) reverse gain;
d) maximum gain;
e) polarization-dependent gain.
In addition, this test method provides a means for measuring the following parameters:
- maximum gain wavelength;
- gain wavelength band.
This document specifically covers single-channel amplifiers. For multichannel amplifiers, the IEC 61290-10 series applies.
NOTE 1 The applicability of the test methods described in this document to distributed Raman amplifiers is for further study.
NOTE 2 A test method for polarization-maintaining optical amplifiers is for further study.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of information on the applicability of this document to the scope;
b) harmonization of the scope with the IEC 61290-1 series;

IEC TS 61851-26:2026(Main)

Electric vehicle conductive charging system - Part 26: EV supply equipment with automatic docking of a vehicle coupler located at the underbody of an electric vehicle

IEC TS 61851-26:2026, in combination with IEC 61851-1 or IEC 61851-23, gives the requirements for EV supply equipment with automatic docking and undocking functions (aEVSE) at the underbody of electrically propelled road vehicles according to ISO TS 5474-5.
Use of aEVSE with the megawatt charging system is under consideration.
This document provides requirements for aEVSE with a single vehicle connector or a single socket-outlet.
Requirements for aEVSE with more than one vehicle connector or more than one socket-outlet are under consideration.
This document only applies to automatic couplers of category 3, located at the underbody of an electric vehicle.
This document does not apply to automatic coupler of category 1: using a vehicle coupler defined by IEC 62196-2, IEC 62196-3 or IEC TS 62196-3-1.
This document does not apply to automatic couplers of category 2: using an electro-mechanical interface defined by EN 50696. EN 50696 also specifies automatic couplers located at the underbody of an electric vehicle. However, these couplers only provide DC power transfer.
Interoperable communication for docking and undocking between an aEVSE and an EV, extending the communication between an EV supply equipment and an EV as specified in IEC 61851-1, IEC 61851-23, IEC 61851-24 and the ISO 15118 series, is under consideration.
This document does not cover all safety aspects related to maintenance.
