Electrical connections
Mains inlet
The arrow shows the mains power inlet and cord.
AC.24.132
Equipotential stud
The equipotential stud is used to connect the anesthesia machine to
an equipotential grounding system by attaching a potential
equalization conductor. Equipotential grounding is used in some
hospitals to enhance electrical safety in critical care areas by
attempting to keep the conductive surfaces of all equipment in the
patient care area at the same ground potential, thereby minimizing
unwanted current flow.
Outlets
Labels show outlet voltage ratings and circuit breaker amp ratings.
An optional, integrated isolation transformer is available when outlets
are configured on the system.
Equipment connected to electrical outlets that are not
isolated outlets can increase the leakage current.
Regularly test the leakage current.
