3.3 EMI Considerations
3.3.1 Electrostatic Discharge Environment & Recommendations
In order to reduce electrostatic discharge interference, install a charge dissipative floor material
to avoid electrostatic charge buildup.
The relative humidity shall be at least 30 percent.
The dissipative material shall be connected to the system ground reference, if applicable.
3.3.2 Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
EMI Reduction
If fields of excessive EMI are known or suspected to be present, consult GE Healthcare Sales &
Service for recommendations. Consider the following if you attempt to reduce EMI:
External field strength decreases rapidly with distance from source of magnetic field.
External magnetic field leakage of a three-phase transformer is much less than that of a bank
of three single phase transformers of equivalent power rating.
Large electric motors are a source of substantial EMI.
High-powered radio signals are a source of EMI. Ensure sufficiently good screening of cables
and cabinets.
NOTE
If power sub-stations exist under or above the scan room, or near the operator room, consider EMI testing to determine
if your proposed room meets the published acceptable EMI room limits. This also includes high voltage lines under
the scan or operator room floor.
