Abstract :
A sound-intensity noise testing approach for rotating electrical machinery is described. Tests have been performed on actual motors to demonstrate the method, and results are presented to illustrate its validity. It is concluded that loaded motors can be successfully tested for noise output, and it is argued that IEEE noise testing standards be expanded to include the testing of loaded machines, including use of the sound-intensity method
