Electrical requirements
General requirements
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper
operation of its Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power
shall originate at the last distribution panel before the Ultrasound
system.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not
shared with any other circuit), and a full size ground wire from
the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral
:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not
shared with any other circuit, and a full size ground wire from the
distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within
the facility, the ground from the main facility's incoming power
source to the Ultrasound system is only a conduit.
Electrical requirements for the Ultrasound system
Inrush Current
Inrush current is not a factor to consider due to the inrush
current limiting properties of the power supplies.
