GOST 24607-88 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 24607-88 — "Преобразователи частоты полупроводниковые. Общие технические требования" (Semiconductor frequency converters — General technical requirements). The standard sets out terminology, classification, rated values, general construction, safety and testing requirements for semiconductor (solid-state) frequency converters used in industrial and power applications.

Abstract

This GOST establishes general technical requirements for semiconductor frequency converters (inverters/frequency changers), including nominal output currents and voltages, functional classification, design and environmental provisions, conformity and testing references. It aligns with the corresponding IEC document cited in the original text and provides normative references to other GOSTs covering electrical ratings, test methods and protective measures.

Scope

GOST 24607-88 applies to semiconductor frequency converters intended for use in power systems and industrial drives. It covers general technical requirements — including nominal current and voltage series, permissible output ranges, classification of converters (regulated/unregulated, application categories), essential design and protection requirements, environmental and reliability provisions, marking, documentation and references to test methods. The standard is normative for manufacturers, testers and certifying bodies when applying these general rules to specific product types or series.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of semiconductor frequency converters (regulated vs. unregulated, application categories and designation rules).
• Nominal output currents and voltages: prescribed series of rated currents and recommended output voltages for different converter types and applications.
• General construction, mechanical and electrical design requirements, insulation and protection against corrosion and aggressive media.
• Requirements for documentation, marking, packaging, transportation and storage in line with referenced GOSTs.
• Referenced test methods and verification procedures (cross-references to GOSTs for methods of electrical testing, reliability and environmental testing).
• Conformity and compatibility with international standard cited in the original text (correspondence to IEC standard indicated).

Typical use and users

Used by designers and manufacturers of power electronic converters and motor drives, test laboratories, certification bodies and engineering teams responsible for selecting and integrating frequency converters into industrial plants, ships, power distribution and process-control systems. Also referenced by procurement specialists and standardization departments when specifying technical requirements for converter equipment.

Related standards

Document normative references and related GOSTs include standards on nominal currents and voltages, test methods, corrosion protection and safety: examples cited in the standard are GOST 6827 (nominal current series), GOST 23366 (nominal voltages), GOST 26567-85 (test methods for semiconductor power equipment), GOST 26284-84 (designation rules), and multiple GOSTs on corrosion, insulation, safety and measurement systems. The standard text also notes correspondence with the IEC document referenced in the original approval.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 24607-88 is a Soviet (Gosstandart) national standard titled "Semiconductor frequency converters. General technical requirements" that defines terminology, ratings, design and testing requirements for solid-state frequency converters.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers classification, nominal output current and voltage series, general construction and protection requirements, environmental and reliability provisions, marking and documentation, and references to test methods and other normative GOSTs.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and designers of frequency converters and motor drives, testing and certification laboratories, procurement and specification engineers, and standardization bodies involved in equipment conformity and acceptance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Records show GOST 24607-88 was adopted in 1988 and came into effect 01 January 1990; catalog entries list amendments and do not show a definitive national replacement in the cited registries. However, national standards regimes evolve and regional/national updates or newer GOST/GOST‑R documents may apply — users should verify current legal/technical status with the national standards registry or a standards provider.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: The standard is part of the body of GOSTs for power-electrical equipment and semiconductor converters; it replaces earlier related editions (for example GOST 24607-81 in part) and cross-references multiple other GOSTs that together form the normative framework for electrical equipment.
