3.2 Cabling
3.2.1 Overview
General Information
Position all components so that you can use the shortest cable whenever possible.
Determine the correct length of X-ray tube power cable necessary to connect the X-ray generator
to the X-ray tubes. Calculate an extra 3 m for the cabling within the X-ray generator to avoid too
much tension between the cables and the circuit points.
In most hospitals, conduits are required for ExacT
rac cables due to hospital and local electrical
regulations and laws. Below is a table listing the requirements for these conduits.
NOTE: Brainlab does not require you to store ExacT
rac cables within conduits. However, some of
the supplied cables are not plenum rated. Therefore, it may be necessary for some customers to
install all cables within conduits.
You are responsible for obtaining installation permits with respect to applicable local or
regional standards. This might affect cable routes, mains power and data cables
specifications, connection to potential equalization and where you install system
components.
Be aware that fire protection engineering aspects (plenum rating) may be affected when
installing cables and system components. Install cable conduits and cables so that they
are not a tripping hazard and the cables will not be damaged.
