Gear motors according to VDE0530
NORM FOR ELECTRIC MOTORS
VDE 0530 – Quality and safety for electrical machines that set standards.
The VDE 0530 standard (EN 60034) defines key requirements for the safe and efficient operation of geared motors.
The VDE is also the sponsor of the German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (DKE), which is responsible for drawing up standards, norms and safety regulations in the fields of electronics, electrical engineering and information technology. This commission forms a business unit of the VDE and at the same time constitutes a standards committee within the German Institute for Standardization. Part of the long list of VDE standards are also those of the category VDE 0530 for rotating electrical machines. With the VDE0530 standards 1 to 33, guidelines are set, for example, for ratings and operating behavior, connection designations, thermal protection or excitation systems for synchronous machines.
- Tested safety for electrical machines.
- Heat resistance and defined protection classes
- International compliance (DIN EN 60034 / IEC 60034).
