Division 3.1 Efficiency of the 48V motor generator

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The efficiency of the 48V motor generator shall be determined in accordance with ISO 8854:2012, with the exception of the elements specified in this section.

Evidence shall be provided to the type approval authority that the rotational frequency ranges of the efficient 48V motor generator are consistent with those set out in Table 1. The measurements shall be conducted at different operating points, as set out in Table 1. The efficient 48V motor generator current intensity shall be defined as half of the rated current for all operating points. For each rotational frequency, the voltage and the output current of the motor generator shall be kept constant, the voltage at 52V.

The efficiency at each operating point shall be calculated in accordance with Formula 1:

Formula 1

η MG i = 60 × U i × I i 2π × M i × n i × 100

All efficiency measurements are to be performed consecutively at least five (5) times. The average of the measurements at each operating point ( η MG i – ) shall be calculated.

The efficiency of the generation function (ηMG) shall be calculated in accordance with the following Formula 2:

Formula 2

η MG = ∑ i = 1 4 h i × η MG i –
