Vibration grade
The EN 60034-14 international standard specifies the factory acceptance vibration test procedures and vibration limits for certain
electrical machines under specified conditions, when uncoupled from any load or prime mover.
The standard defines two vibration grades: Grade 'A' (machines with no special vibration requirements); and Grade 'B' (machines
with special vibration requirements).
The table below shows the limits of maximum vibration magnitude in displacement, velocity and acceleration (RMS) for shaft
height (H):

When no grade is specified, machines complying with this standard shall be grade "A".
