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 unit is only a conduit.

supplies.
Maximum power requirement = 1.2 KVa
• 100V AC: 8A
• 120V AC: 8A
• 220 - 240V AC: 4A
