With the emergence of the new IEEE 1566 . A clear and more inherent understanding of the use Standard for Large Adjustable Speed Drives, and the need for and performance of equivalent devices intended for providing these large drives into the Global Market place, a the same purpose comparison of several world standards would be of value toThe challenge to setting a globally mandated direction Electrical Engineers. With manufacturers supplying these without further consideration is that it deters innovation and drives on a global basis, it would be helpful to have a differing viewpoints which have been responsible for new comparison guide for the engineer to refer to quickly. IEEE Std technologies and improvements. For this reason, IEEE 1566 1566 was written by users, consultants and manufacturers to took the approach to define large adjustable speed drives not in provide a common performance standard for large Adjustable specific design definition, terminology, etc. but rather by Speed AC Drives. The standard is a stand alone document minimum performance requirements which were felt to be which lists the performance requirements of all aspects of an important to end users. By contrast, the IEC standards are very adjustable speed drive system. It includes data sheets for the specific in nature with standards specifically outlining design purchaser and the user plus some tutorial information. It is configurations for power semiconductor equipment to the point expected that the use of the standard will lead to less confusion of having multiple standards specific to rectifier designs as an and work in selection of drives, plus eventually a more durable example. drive systemThe intent of this paper is to demonstrate the difference in approach, to encourage the use and input worldwide to this This paper will cover the IEEE 1566 and comparable IEC recently adopted standard. standards as these standards would relate to the selection of large adjustable speed drives.11.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
