2.2 Specifications for Electrical Installation
These specifications are based on the MEIGaN (Medical electrical installation
guidance notes).
2.3 Electrical Requirement
This equipment must be connected to a grounded outlet to fulfill the
safety provisions specified in IEC 60364: the 2
nd
edition (2006).
It is mandatory that both PC and equipment use the same power
line if connected to an MPSO.
Whenever possible, use different power outlets for each device. If a
multiple portable socket outlet (MPSO) must be used, ensure that
the PC and equipment are connected to the same MPSO.
Use a dedicated power outlet for the power cord. Failure to do so
may result in unstable system operation caused by power
fluctuations.
It is strongly recommended that you install an AVR. An AVR
(automatic voltage regulator) maintains a constant voltage and
allows for continuous operation in the event of a power fluctuation.
Item Description
Power supply voltage 100 - 240 V ~
Frequency 50 / 60 Hz
Power rating 1.3 kVA
Accuracy
Tube Voltage (kVp) ± 10 %
Tube Current (mA) ± 20 %
Exposure Time (s) ± (5 % + 50 ms)
The input line voltage depends on the local electrical distribution system.
Allowable input voltage fluctuation requirement: ±10 %.
Mode of operation: Continuous operation with intermittent loading - Needs waiting
time (at least 60 times the exposure time) before next exposure begins.
Column operation time: Max. 2 min. On / 18 min. off (Ratio 1:9)
