The design of the CT scanner uses an equal potential grounding system. All components within
the system are provided power on a common ground, so all the components are suitable for use
in the patient environment. Three primary grounding points exist, they include:
•
A system power ground point located in the NGPDU.
•
A reference ground point located between the gantry and the table base.
•
A protective earth ground points located at the rear of the gantry for accessory use.
ALL patient-accessible metal surfaces are grounded to the same potential as the A1
Disconnect.
