This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of standardizing documents.

This standard replaces GB/T 1971-2006 Rotating electrical machines - Terminal markings and direction of rotation. In addition to structural adjustment and editorial changes, the following main technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 1971-2006:

a) The primary windings of synchronous machines are added (see 6.5.1);

b) The field winding of synchronous machines is added (see 6.5.2);

c) The permanent magnet synchronous machines are added (see 6.5.3);

d) The Figures 16 and 24 are modified in that the symbol X is replaced by A (see Figures 16 and 24; Figures 16 and 24 of Edition 2006);

e) The Figure A.11 "Variable-torque, dual-voltage (1:√3), nine terminals" is added in Annex (see Annex A);

f) The shunt excitation winding terminal marking in Figures A.22 and A.23 is modified from F to E (see Annex A; Annex A of Edition 2006).

This document is identical to IEC 60034-8: 2014 Rotating electrical machines - Part 8: Terminal markings and direction of rotation.

The Chinese documents consistent and corresponding with the normative international document in this document are as follows:

——GB/T 755-2019 Rotating electrical machines - Rating and performance (IEC 60034-1: 2017, IDT);

——GB/T 5465.1-2009 Graphical symbols for use on electrical equipment - Part 1: Overview and classification (IEC 60417 Database: 2007-01, MOD).
The following editorial changes have been made in this document:

——In order to be consistent with China's technical standard system, the standard name is changed to Rotating electrical machines - Terminal markings and direction of rotation.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document was proposed by China Electrical Equipment Industry Association.

This standard is under the jurisdiction of SAC/TC 26 National Technical Committee on Electric Rotating Machinery of Standardization Administration of China.
