GOST 11828-86 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 11828-86 — "Rotating electrical machines. General test methods" (Машины электрические вращающиеся. Общие методы испытаний). The standard sets out general procedures and measurement techniques used when testing rotating electrical machines (both AC and DC) for performance, electrical and thermal characteristics, and safety-related parameters.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard establishes common test methods applicable to rotating electrical machines without restriction on power, voltage or frequency. It defines procedures for electrical measurements, insulation checks, determination of starting parameters and methods related to thermal and performance testing, and it references specialized GOSTs for detailed heating tests and loss determinations. The document has been reissued and amended since its original approval.

Scope

Applies to rotating electrical machines of all types (synchronous, asynchronous/induction, DC machines, generators and motors) regardless of nominal power, voltage or frequency. The standard establishes uniform methods for conducting electrical, thermal and performance tests that are common across machine types and supplies normative references for specialized tests (for example, heating tests and detailed loss measurements).

Key topics and requirements

• General test procedures and required test conditions applicable to all rotating electrical machines.
• Measurement of insulation resistance and recommended test voltages for windings (guidance on instruments and voltage levels for different nominal voltages).
• Methods for measuring winding resistance and arranging circuit connections during tests.
• Determination of starting characteristics (starting current and starting torque), including interpolation/extrapolation procedures for initial values.
• Reference to heating (thermal-rise) test requirements and to companion standards for detailed thermal and loss-measurement procedures.
• Requirements for instrumentation, recording of results and reporting format to ensure repeatability and comparability of test data.

Typical use and users

Used by motor and generator manufacturers for type and routine testing, independent test laboratories and certification bodies, design and R&D engineers for validating performance, and maintenance/testing departments for in-service verification. The standard provides a baseline set of methods to harmonize testing practices across manufacturers and testing organizations.

Related standards

Key related documents include the earlier version GOST 11828-75 (partly superseded), GOST 25000-81 (methods for heating tests), and other GOSTs cited in the standard for loss determination and specific measurement techniques (for example, GOST 7217-87, GOST 25941-83). Implementing and harmonized documents for particular machine types and specialized tests are referenced within the text.
