Electrical Requirements
NOTE:
GE Medical Systems requires a dedicated power and Ground for the proper operation of its
Ultrasound equipment. This dedicated power shall originate at the last distribution panel before
the system.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live:
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.

Inrush Current
Inrush current is not a factor for consideration, due to the inrush current limiting properties of the power
supplies.
Maximum power requirement = 1.2 KVa
