Do not confuse IEC 60034-1 with IEC 60034-30 (which focuses exclusively on efficiency classes like IE3, IE4). Part 1 is the parent standard that defines the machine's mechanical and electrical limits.

| Standard | Focus | When to use | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Standard methods for determining losses & efficiency | For calculating actual efficiency from test data | | IEC 60034-5 | Degrees of protection (IP codes: IP54, IP55, IP66) | For harsh/dusty/wet environments | | IEC 60034-7 | Types of construction (IM codes: IM B3, IM B5, IM V1) | For mounting arrangements | | IEC 60034-14 | Mechanical vibration limits | For condition monitoring and balancing |

The standard is well-organized and divided into several sections, covering essential topics such as:

When you open your , you will find 12 main clauses plus annexes. Here is a roadmap of the most frequently accessed sections:
