Rotating electrical machines of particular types or for particular applications - Part 3: Generators to be driven by reciprocating internal combustion engines - Requirements for resistance to vibration
This part of BS 5000 specifies requirements for the vibration resistance
of generators, together with their exciters, to be driven by reciprocating
internal combustion (RIC) engines. The standard is applicable to
generators with a maximum continuous rating with outputs greater than
0.75 kW or kVA per 1 000 r/min, of the following types:
a) salient pole alternating current generators;
b) cylindrical rotor (distributed field) alternating current generators;
c) direct current generators.
This part of BS 5000 is not applicable to generators intended for use in
ships, traction vehicles or turbine type machines.
