IEC Test Methods for the Evaluation of EIS for Rotating Machinery
The test methods of the evaluation of Electrical Insulation Systems (EIS) are developed mainly by two organizations: IEEE and the IEC. This page presents the IEC test methods; the IEEE test methods are provided on a separate page – please refer to IEEE EIS tests page.
The titles are copied directly from the IEC website. Additional information about these test methods including the scope of each standard or copies of any IEC Standards can be obtained from their website.
For any questions about the testing/evaluation of your candidate EIS to any of these specific IEC Standards by ELTEK Labs, please contact us directly at quoting@ELTEKlabs.com.
