Annex A
(normative)

Further examples of terminal markings

A.l General

Terminal markings alone do not allow the operation mode of the machine to be deduced.
. It should be noted that the figures below are illustrations only. They do not replace the rules
and the arrangement of terminals in the figures is not mandatory.

As in IEC 34-1, the rules below deal with external terminals, i.e. terminals at the disposal of the
user (see explanatory note on page 7) and give further details for a clear understanding of the
marking itself. In the figures, markings of winding end-points which are not external terminals
are indicated in brackets, for information purposes.

A.2 Additional rules

A.2.1 All terminals shall be identified by a marking.

A.2.2 The terminals to be connected to the supply are those having internal connections to
the winding ends identified by the lowest suffix, i.e. suffix 1 with untapped single-section
windings; see figures A.l and A.2.

A.2.3 In any electrical machine there shall be not more than one terminal with a given
marking, unless each terminal is capable of performing the full electrical function appropriate to
that marking, so that any terminal may be used for the connection; see figure A.1.

A.2.4 If more than one terminal is provided to share the current, additional numerical
markings are necessary, separated by a hyphen from the suffix of the marking; see figure A.2.

A.2.5 For windings with intermediate points, if more than two intermediate points per section
are provided, the terminals corresponding to the tappings shall be marked with the following
suffixes:

etc.; see figure A.5.

NOTE - The rules given in IEC 445, subclause 5.2.2, for tappings in a single element cannot be applied strictly
to rotating machines with more than two intermediate points per section; see figure 2.

A .2.6 Multi-section windings

A.2.6.1 The terminals corresponding to the ends of the sections shall be marked with the
following suffixes (see figures 3 and A.3):

- first section: 1, 2;
- second section: 5, 6;
- third section: 9, 10;
- fourth section: 13, 14.
In any section, the end-point closer to the supply shall be marked with the lower numerical
suffix. This applies to all multi-section windings, whatever arrangements they may be meant
for; see figures A.7, A.8, A.9 and A.lO.

A.2.6.2 If two or more sections of a winding are connected to a common terminal, it shall take
the lowest of the suffixes of the ends connected; see figure A.4.

A. 2.7 Separate windings

A.2.7.1 Separate windings are such that, whatever purposes they may be intended to serve,
they are only used one at a time whether fully or partially, i.e. they are not intended for any
arrangement combining two or more windings or sections of them.

34-8 Amend. 2 O IEC:1996 -7-

A.2.7.2 For machines with separate windings, the requirements of A.2.5 and A.2.6 shall apply
for each separate winding. In addition, all terminals shall be marked with numerical prefixes
corresponding to the separate winding to which they belong, namely:

- first winding: 1;
- second winding: 2;
- third winding: 3;
- fourth winding: 4;
- etc.; see figures 4 and A.6.
Moreover, in the case of multi-speed machines, the marking of terminals for connection to the
supply shall be in accordance with A.2.8.2 and A.2.8.3.

A. 2.8 Multi-speed machines

A.2.8.1 If a machine has only one winding, for example a Dahlander or a pole-modulation
winding, the section end-points which are connected to the supply, when the sections are
connected for the lowest speed, shall be identified by the lowest suffix.

For each speed, the terminals to be connected to the supply shall be marked with a numerical
prefix. The sequence of prefixes corresponds with the increasing speed sequence.

The suffix is omitted if the marking of a terminal has a prefix; see figures A.7 and A.8.

A.2.8.2 If a machine has separate single-section windings (for example see figure 4 for the
illustration of two separate windings) the rules of A.2.7 shall apply with the sequence of
prefixes corresponding to an increasing speed sequence.

The terminals to be connected to the supply are those having internal connections to the
winding ends identified by the lower suffix.

For each speed, the suffixes of the terminals to be connected to the supply are omitted.

A.2.8.3 If a machine has separate windings including multi-section windings, for example
Dahlander or pole-modulation windings, the rules of A.2.8.1 and A.2.8.2 apply in combination;
see figures A.9 and A.lO.

A.2.8.4 The relation between direction of rotation and alphabetical sequence of the terminal
letters given in 5.1 is valid for all speeds. If, in a winding, two phases have to be switched over
to achieve this, then the switch shall be applied to terminal markings U and W and shall be
applied to the arrangement for the lowest speed; see figures A.7, A.8 and A.9.

A.2.9 When an end of a main winding and an end of an auxiliary winding are connected to the
same terminal, that terminal shall be identified according to the rule for the main winding;
see figures A . l l and A.12.
NOTE - This rule cannot be applied to certain types of small power motors. A specific terminal coding system
for such motors is under consideration.

The sequence of the numerical prefixes of terminals corresponds with the speed sequence:

Lowest speed: 1 U, 1V, 1W connected to the supply

Intermediate speed: 2U, 2V, 2W connected to the supply
Highest speed: 3U, 3V, 3W connected to the supply

The relation between direction of rotation and alphabetical sequence of the terminal letters
given in A.2.8.4 is valid for all speeds.
NOTE - Terminals 1 U and 1W have been switched over for the lower speed in order to have the same direction
of rotation for the three speeds.

IEC 9 2 4 M

The sequence of the numerical prefixes of terminals corresponds with the speed sequence:

First winding (realizing the lowest speed and speed number 3):

48 poles: 1U, 1V, 1W" connected to supply

12 poles: 3U, 3V, 3 ~ connected
" to supply

Second winding (realizing speed number 2 and the highest speed):

16 poles: 2U, 2V, 2 ~ connected

" to supply
4 poles: 4U, 4V, 4 ~ connected
" to supply

The relation between direction of rotation and alphabetical sequence of the terminal letters
given in A.2.8.4 is valid for all four speeds.

' ) T h e linking of other terminals to achieve the selected speed will depend upon the details of the windings.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHJNES

Part 8: Terminal markings and direction of rotation of rotating machines

FOREWORD

1) The formal decisions or agreements of the I E C on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, a s nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the formofrecommendationsfor internationaluse and they areaccepted by theNational Committeesin that sense.
3) In order to promote this international unification, the IECexpresses the wish that all National Committees having as yet no
nationalrules, whenpreparingsuchrules, shoulduse theIECrecommendations as thefundamental basis for theserules in so
far as national conditions will permit.
4) The desirability is recognized of extending international agreement on these matters through an endeavour to harmonize
national standardization rules with these recommendations in so far as national conditions will permit. The National
Committees pledge their influence towards that end.

PREFACE

This Recommendation has been prepared by Sub-committee 16A, Terminal markings for rotating
machines, of I E C Technical Committee No. 16, Terminal markings and other identifications.

TERMINAL MARKINGS AND DIRECTION OF ROTATION

OF ROTATING N I A C m S

Explanatory Note

This Recommendation, as far as it deals with terminal markings, is based on the following marking
principles:
a) Windings are distinguished by a (capital) letter (e. g. U, V, W).
b) End points and intermediate points of a winding are distinguished by a numerical suffix to the winding
letter (e.g. U1, U2, U3).
c) Similar windings of a group having the same winding letters are distinguished by a numerical prefix to
the winding letter (e. g. lU, 2U).
d) Winding letters for d. c. windings are chosen from the f i s t part of the alphabet and winding letters for
a. c. windings from the second part of the alphabet.

This Recommendation deals with "external" terminals, i.e. terminals at the disposal of the user for
connection of the machine with the supply and with other apparatus and for other use. It can be applied
to internal terminals also, the more so as the inherent logic of the system makes extension to almost any
case possible.
If no confusion is possible, the p r e k or the suffix or both may be omitted.

I t is obvious that this Recommendation does not cover all cases in detail; it makes it possible however to
deal with cases not spec5cally mentioned in the text.

1 . Scope

This Recommendation concerns a.c. machines without commutator and d.c. commutator
machines and deals with :
a) terminal markings;
b) direction of rotation;
c) relation between terminal markings and direction of rotation.

4. Sens de rotation
4 . 1 Si la machine ne posdde qu'un seul bout d'arbre 4.1 If the machine has only one shaft end (or two
(ou posdde deux bouts d'arbre de diamgtres dif-
ferents), le sens de rotation est celui quevoitun
observateur place face au bout d'arbre unique
(ou face au bout d'arbre le plus gros). Si la -
machine possbde deux bouts d'arbre de mgme
diambtre ou n'en possbde pas, l'observateur est
place :
a) du bout oppos6 au collecteur ou aux
bagues, s'il n'existe un collecteur et/ou des
bagues que d'un seul c6tC de la machine;
6) du bout des bagues si la machine poslde
un collecteur d'un c6t6 et des bagues de
I'autre;
c) selon entente particulibre, dans le cas o c les
conventions precidentes prdtent A confu-
sion.

4. Direction of rotation
shaft ends of differentdiameters), the directionof
rotation is the one observed when facing the sin-
gle shaft end (or facing the shaft end with the
largest diameter). If the machine has two shaft
ends of the same diameter or has no shaft ends,
the position of the observer is:
a) on the end opposite the comnlutator or the
collector-rings, if the commutator and/or
collector-rings exist at one end of the ma-
chine only;
b) on the collector-ring end, if the machine
has a commutator at one end and collec-
tor-rings at the other;
c) in accordance with special agreement, in
the case where a) and b) lead to misunder-
standing.
4.2 Clockwise rotation (or clockwise running) cor-
responds to a rotation of the machine in the
direction of the hands of a clock.
5 . Relation between terminal markings and direc-
tion of rotation
5.1 A. C. poly-phase machines (witlzout commuta-
tor)
The direction of rotation shall be clockwise
when the alphabetical sequence of the terminal
letters of a phase group corresponds with the
time sequence of the terminal voltages.
5.2 A. C. single-phase motors (witttout commutator)
The direction of rotation shall be clockwise
if connections are made according to Figure
33, page 20.
