About This Item

Legal Notices*

1566-2015 is a technical standard for speed AC drives rated 375 kW and larger, providing a focused framework for equipment used in high-power electrical applications. It is relevant to the design, evaluation, and procurement of large variable-speed drive systems where performance, control behavior, and electrical compatibility matter. For power, energy, and industrial applications, this standard helps define expectations for reliable operation in demanding drive installations and supports more consistent engineering decisions.

What is 1566-2015?

1566-2015 is a standards document centered on speed AC drives with a rating of 375 kW and above. In practical terms, it addresses a class of large electrical drive equipment used to control AC motor speed in high-power systems. The specification is useful for clarifying technical requirements, helping engineers and buyers compare products on a common basis, and supporting conformity checks where large drive performance and system integration are important.

Where is 1566-2015 used?

This standard is typically used in installations that rely on large AC drive systems, such as heavy industrial machinery, process equipment, and infrastructure where motors operate at substantial power levels. It may also be relevant in energy-related facilities and other engineered systems that need controlled speed, efficient power handling, and stable electrical operation. 1566-2015 is especially useful when specifying drives for new projects, upgrades, or standardized procurement.

Why is 1566-2015 important?

1566-2015 matters because large AC drives can affect plant performance, electrical quality, and equipment reliability. A defined standard helps reduce ambiguity during design and purchasing, making it easier to evaluate ratings, compatibility, and expected behavior. It can also support testing, documentation, and compliance efforts for high-power installations. For organizations working with 1566-2015, the standard helps improve consistency and manage risk across engineering and operational decisions.
