Environmental technical requirements of rotating electric machines for tropical use
1 Scope
This standard specifies the protection types, environmental conditions, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules and marking of electric machines.
This standard is applicable to rotating electric machines for tropical stationary use.
The rotating electric machines for tropical use (including large-sized, medium-sized and small-sized electric machines as well as small-power electric machines, hereinafter referred to as electric machines) shall meet the requirements of this standard. Those not specified and described in this standard shall meet those specified in GB 755-2000, GB/T 5171-2002 and the special technical specifications for the corresponding products.

3 Weather protection types and environmental conditions of electric machines
3.1 Weather protection types
The weather protection types of electric machines are classified as follows:
a) weather-protected locations (TH) and non-weather-protected locations (THW) for electric machines used in humid tropics;
b) weather-protected locations (TA) and non-weather-protected locations (TAW) for electric machines used in arid tropics;
c) weather-protected locations (T) and non-weather-protected locations (TW) for electric machines used in tropics.
3.2 Environmental conditions
The environmental conditions are classified into the following six categories: climatic conditions (K), special climatic conditions (Zh - heat radiation, Za - ambient air velocity, Zw - water source except rain), biological conditions (B), chemically active substance conditions (C), mechanically active substance conditions (S) and mechanical conditions (M).
According to the protection situation, the location of electric machines is divided into:
a) Weather-protected locations - indoors or locations with better concealment (its building construction is such that the impact of change in outdoor daily climate, including that under shed, can be prevented or reduced).
b) Non-weather-protected locations - locations that are completely open or only sheltered simply, which can almost not prevent the impact of change in outdoor daily climate. The parameters of the environmental condition grade of electric machines used in humid tropics, arid tropics or tropics in different locations are as follows:
