Defines survey method for the measurement of noise from electrical machines operating under steady noise conditions, the result of which can be expressed in sound power levels so that all machines tested using This Standard can be directly compared. Identical with and reproduced from ISO 1680-2.

This part of ISO 1680 defines a measurement method for rotating electrical machines operating under steady noise conditions, the result of which can be expressed in sound power levels so that all machines tested using this code can be directly compared. This part of ISO 1680 applies to the measurement of airborne noise from rotating electrical machines, such as motors and generators (d.c. and a.c. machines) of all sizes, when fitted with all auxiliaries which are necessary to achieve the agreed operating conditions (see clause 6). This part of ISO 1680 requires the sound pressure levels to be measured on a rectangular parallelepiped surface enveloping the machines from which the A-weighted sound power level produced by the machine is calculated. It outlines the procedures which shall be used to evaluate the test environment and specifies the characteristics of suitable measuring instruments. This part of ISO 1680 applies to measurements carried out in environmental conditions that meet the criteria given in clause 4 and annex A (environmental correction K 7 dB, correction for background noise 3 dB).
