REOMED Medical Isolation transformers Provide an Ungrounded Power Supply System that Improves the Reliability of Supply Voltage and Reduces the Leakage Current
REOMED ensures that there is no direct connection between earth and the live/neutral conductors.
(PRWEB) April 21, 2005 -- In medical applications, it is required that the contact parts are electrically "floating", which means that they are supplied from a source of power where the neutral line is isolated from the earth line. The REOMED ensures that there is no direct connection between earth and the live/neutral conductors. This has several benefits, notably, in the case of an insulation fault, only a small leakage current will flow and the line fuse will not trigger, which allows the supply to be maintained even under a single fault condition. The REOMED range has built in inrush, short circuit and thermal protection. It uses a high quality toroidal transformer, which ensures that magnetic stray fields are minimized and will not affect other, nearby medical equipment. A separately earthed, shielded winding helps to reduce mains borne interference. The isolation between the live and neutral lines and all earth points is tested at 4kV for 1min. To ensure that all equipment in an installation is at the same potential, the REOMED units are also supplied with potential equalizing POAG connectors, which enable all equipment to be physically bonded, thus ensuring that no potential difference will exist between individual devices.
