Isolated power solutions for operating theatres

An adaptable solution meeting all standards


Schneider Electric offers an innovative, secure power distribution and monitoring solution for operating theatres, in compliance with the IEC 60364-7-710 standard.
A solution you can trust
All components are designed, manufactured, and tested by Schneider Electric to operate seamlessly. The solution has been validated according to the customers needs and uses to ensure that it operates simply and effectively for the specific customer application. Documented through adherence to the commissioning guides, user guides, maintenance recommendations, and drawings. The centralized uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system and the automatic transfer switch (ATS) have been tested upstream of the isolated panel system. The Schneider Electric solution is designed, wired, and tested to attenuate electromagnetic disturbances in accordance with the IEC 60364-4-44 standard.

IEC
Our solution complies with international standard IEC 60364-7-710, and with national standards and regulations.1,3,4
(Group 2*, Class 0.5)

to event monitoring and traceability


The Schneider Electric solution incorporates a monitoring system to: Inform maintenance and medical personnel in real time in the event of an electrical fault in the operating room. Monitor the operating room environment and record all environmental events and data. Provide data to the hospital building management system.

thanks to secure power distribution ...


The isolated panel system included in the secured power electrical distribution architectures is qualified by Schneider Electric. These recommendations allow the system to maximize the energy availability performance.

What do the standards say?


In Group 21 rooms for medical use, an isolated power system2 shall be used for the circuits powering medical electrical equipment and systems for survival and surgical applications. An audible and visual alarm must be provided for in the room in question to alert medical personnel. For class <0.53, a backup power system shall maintain the supply for a minimum of 3 hours (Genset) within a changeover period not exceeding 0.5s (UPS). For the optimum operation of medical equipment, prevention of electromagnetic disturbances is necessary.

1 Group 2 (according to IEC 60364-7-710): rooms for medical applications in which the parts applied are designed to be used in applications such as intracardiac procedures, operative fields, and vital treatments where discontinuity (failure) of the power supply could entail danger for life.

The Isolated Power System does not require automatic cutoff of the power supply whenever an insulation fault occurs. Class 0.5 (according to IEC 60364-7-710): anaesthetic room, operating theatre, operating recovery room, intensive care room, etc. Isolated transformer complies with IEC 61558-2-15. Insulating monitoring device complies with IEC 61557-8 and IEC 61557-9 standards.

Reinforced insulation Low leakage current No ventilation

Schneider Electric offers made in Romania isolation transformers


for electrical circuits subject to the IT system and in compliance with the IEC 60364-7-710 and IEC 61558-2-15 standards.

The patients safety


is ensured by reinforced insulation and a low leakage current which reduce the risk of electric shock and prevent unwanted currents which could disturb sensitive medical instruments.

For use in medical locations,


short-circuit protection is not acceptable and the transformer must be able to withstand overloads. Whenever the internal temperature and overload current thresholds recommended by Schneider Electric are exceeded, alarms are generated.

The quality and continuity of power


are ensured through technical features which can limit nuisance tripping of protection systems and provide a stable electric power supply for medical equipment.

Thanks to the design,


there are fewer losses and less generated

heat, with no switchboard ventilation and no routine cleaning required.

Medical locations and operating theatres in particular are environments in which patient safety and the quality and continuity of power are of prime importance.

Vigilohm IM10-H, IM20-H insulation monitor devices


Devices dedicated to monitor hospital low-voltage AC networks with isolated neutral or directly earthed neutral via a capacitive impedance.
Operation
Continuous insulation monitors inject a direct low-frequency AC voltage into the network, thus creating an artificial leakage current. An electronic device measures the network insulation from this current. When this insulation level is below the userselected threshold, a relay switches and the fault indicator lamp lights. These are failsafe devices; the output relay is excited permanently, and de-excited in the event of an auxiliary voltage failure or an insulation fault. Indications include: satisfactory insulation resistance (green light), drop in insulation resistance below the fault threshold (orange light), and earth or injection connection lost. Display in eight languages3 of: insulation resistance, thresholds, and alarms with dedicated pop-up windows.

Additional functions with IM20-H


Modbus communication. Datalog with timestamping of all events. Transformer management: secondary load current display (in %), alarm on a threshold (in % of nominal current), alarm on temperature through the sensor (bimetal).

1 Failsafe: the relay is deactivated on occurrence of a fault or if the auxiliary supply voltage accidentally fails. 2 Suitable for use in all climates: b damp heat, equipment not operating (IEC 60068-2-30) b damp heat, equipment operating (IEC 60068-2-56) b salt mist (IEC 60068-2-52). 3 English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Russian, Chinese.
