Why is a maximum of electrical safety required ?
! The patient`s ability to react

normally on possible hazards is
reduced or eliminated.
! The electrical resistance of the
skin may be reduced through the
insertion of catheters and the like
into natural or artificial orifices.
! The heart muscle is highly
sensitive to electric currents
(currents >10μA).
! Body functions are temporarily or
continuously supported or
substituted by medical electrical
devices.
! Fire and explosion hazards
through anesthetics, disinfection or
cleaning agents may occur.

Why is a maximum of electrical safety required?
! Electric and magnetic interferences,

e.g. from the power system,
may expose patients to hazards
or may influence the function
of medical electrical devices.
! Surgeries cannot be interrupted
or repeated.
! Intensive care requires simultaneous
application of several medical
electrical devices.
! Permitted leakage currents may
add to critical values.
! Long term recordings of patient
data get lost in case of power
failures.

The safety concept in healthcare facilities

A new standard since November 2002

General scope of IEC 60364-7-710
! IEC 60364-7-710 apply to electrical installations

in medical locations so as to
ensure safety of patients and medical staff.
! NOTE 1
It may be necessary to modify the existing electrical installation
when a change of utilization of the location occurs.
Special care should be taken where intracardiac procedures are
performed in existing installations.

Classification
of
medical
locations
710.30
! Classification of a medical location shall be made in agreement with

! the medical staff
! health organization concerned or
! body responsible for the safety of workers in accordance with
national regulations.
! It is necessary that the medical staff indicate which medical procedures

will take place within the location. Based on the intended use, the
appropriate classification for the location shall be determined.
! NOTE 1

Power supplies
in
medical
locations
Which power supply system is required by the
IEC 60364-4-410 standard ?
1st letter: earthing of the current source
T = direct earthing one point of the current
source
I = isolation of all active parts from earth
2nd letter: earthing conditions of the body of the

electrical installation
T = the exposed conductive parts are earthed,
independently of the earthing of any point of the
current source which might exist
N =the exposed conductive parts are directly
connected with the earthing point of the current
source in AC systems, the earthed point is
generally the neutral point

The use of earthed systems in hospitals
! Chapter 710.312.2:
The TN-C system is not allowed
in medical locations and medical
buildings downstream of the main
distribution board.

The TN-S system in medical locations
(710.413.1.3)
! In final circuits of group 1 rated up to 32 A, RCDs ≤ 30 mA shall be

used (additional protection).
! Care shall be taken to ensure that simultaneous use of many items

of such equipment connected to the same circuit cannot cause
unwanted tripping of the residual current protective device (RCD).
! In medical locations of group 1 and group 2, where RCDs are required,

only type A or type B shall be selected, depending on the possible
fault-current arising.
! NOTE:
It is recommended that TN-S systems are monitored to
ensure the insulation level of all live conductors.

! In medical locations of group 2, protection

by automatic disconnection of supply
by means of RCD ≤ 30 mA shall
only be used on the following circuits:

Why isolated power ? – Increased operational safety
In IT systems
! In the event of an insulation fault RF
only a very low capacitive current Ice flows
! Fuse does not trip

! In the event of a single-pole earth fault,
the power supply is guaranteed
! No interruption of operation
! Alarm indicated by an A-ISOMETER®
In TN systems
! A fault current flows determined by the earth
resistance and the insulation fault.
! IF<Ia Fuse does not trip -

• Risk of malfunctions
• No alarm
! IF >Ia Fuse trips -
• Unexpected interruption of operation
Why isolated power ? – Low leakage currents
In TN systems
! A high fault current can flow
! The fault current is only limited by
the body impedance
In IT systems
! The IT system is a small local
network with low leakage
capacitances.
! The fault current is limited by the
body impedance, the earthing
resistance and the high impedance
of the fault loop.
! Hazards to persons and equipment
arising from high fault currents are
reduced.

Why isolated power ? – High degree of fire safety
In TN systems
! When the fault current IF ≤ Ia
! Fuse does not trip
! The electrical energy of the
fault current is transformed
into thermal energy
! Fire risk at
P ≥ 60 W = 260mA/230V).
In IT systems
! A small current flows limited by
the high impedance of the fault loop.
! Considerable less fire risk
! Increased protection for persons
and equipment

Design of an IT system
! The IT system is supplied by an independent power source, e.g.
! Distribution / isolation transformer

! Control-power transformer
! Generating set
! Battery
! Inverter of an UPS
! The IT system has no direct

connection between live conductors
and earth.
! All exposed conductive parts of the

electrical installation are earthed.

Transformers for medical IT systems
(710.512.1.1)
! Transformers shall be
! installed in close proximity to, inside or outside, the medical location
! placed in cabinets or enclosures to prevent unintentional contact with live
parts.
! Rated voltage Un on the secondary side of transformers ≤ 250 VAC
! Transformers according IEC 61558-2-15, with additional requirements:
! The leakage current of the output winding to earth and the leakage
current of the enclosure, when measured in no-load condition and the
transformer supplied at rated voltage and rated frequency, ≤ 0.5 mA.
! Rated output of the transformers 0.5 kVA … 10 kVA.
! For three-phase loads with an IT system a separate three-phase
transformer shall be provided for this purpose with output line-to-line
voltage not exceeding 250 V.

(710.413.1.5)
! For each group of rooms serving the same function, at least one
separate medical IT system is necessary.
! The medical IT system shall be equipped with an insulation

monitoring device in accordance with IEC 61557-8 with the following
specific requirements:

! the test voltage ≤ 25 V d.c.
! injected current ≤ 1 mA peak, even under fault conditions
! indication when insulation resistance ≤ 50kOhm
! a test device shall be provided

Measuring principle of an IMD
! The insulation monitoring device is

connected between live conductors
and earth.
! The measuring voltage Um
generated by G is superimposed
onto the system via the coupling Ri,
the measuring resistance Rm and a
low pass filter.
! An insulation fault RF between
system and earth closes the
measuring circuit.
! Im causes a voltage drop Um
proportional to the insulation fault RF
across the measuring resistance Rm.

socket-outlets shall be installed or
! each socket-outlet shall be individually protected against
overcurrent.
! Where circuits are supplied from other systems (TN-S systems) in the
same medical location, socket-outlets connected to the medical IT
system shall either:
! be of such construction that prevents their use in other systems or
! be clearly and permanently marked.

The safety
power supply
in medical locations
General power supply in hospitals
(710.313.1 )
! In medical locations the distribution system should be designed
and installed to facilitate the automatic change-over from the main
distribution network to the electrical safety source feeding essential
loads
! AV = Normal power supply source

! SV = Safety power supply source
! HV = Main distribution board

Safety services power supply sources
(710.556.5.2)
! General requirements for safety power supply sources

of group 1 and group 2
! In medical locations, a power supply for safety services is

required which, in case of a failure of the normal power supply
source, shall be energized to feed the equipment stated in
710.556.5.2.2.1, 710.556.5.2.2.2 and 710.556.5.2.2.3 with
electrical energy for a defined period of time and within a pre-
determined changeover period.
! If the voltage at the main distribution board drops in one or

several line conductors by more than 10 % of the nominal voltage,
a safety power supply source shall assume the supply
automatically.

Equipment for changeover period > 15 s
! Equipment which is required for the maintenance of hospital services, may be

connected either automatically or manually to a safety power supply source
capable of maintaining it for a minimum period of 24 h. This equipment may
include, for example:
! sterilization equipment
! technical building installations, in particular air conditioning,
heating and ventilation systems, building services and
waste disposal systems
! cooling equipment
! cooking equipment
! storage battery chargers

Equipment for changeover period ≤ 15 s
! selected lifts for firemen

! ventilating systems for smoke extraction;
! paging systems
! medical electrical equipment used in group 2 medical
locations which serves for surgical or other measures of vital
importance. Such equipment will be defined by responsible
staff
! electrical equipment of medical gas supply including compressed
air, vacuum supply and narcosis (anaesthetics) exhaustion as well
as their monitoring devices
! fire detection, fire alarms and fire extinguishing systems

Equipment for changeover period ≤ 15 s
! Escape routes
! Lighting of exit signs
! Locations for switchgear and controlgear for emergency
generation sets.
! Distribution boards of the normal power supply and for power
supply for safety services.
! Rooms in which essential services are intended. In each room at
least one luminaire shall be supplied from the power source for
safety services.
! Rooms of group 1 medical locations. In each room at least one
luminaire shall be supplied from the power supply source for
safety services.
! Rooms of group 2 medical locations. A minimum of 50 % of the
lighting shall be supplied from the power source for safety
services.

Changeover period for power supplies
! Changeover period less than or equal to 0.5 s (710.556.5.2.2.1)
! In the event of a voltage failure of one or more line

conductors at the distribution board, a special safety power supply
source shall maintain
! luminaires of operating theatre tables and other essential

luminaires, e.g. endoscopes, for a minimum period of 3 h.
! It shall restore the supply within a changeover period not
exceeding 0.5 s.

Power supply with one power line
! Power failures of the utility supply

or damages of the supply cable
should not have an impact on the
continuity of the supply to the IT
system:
! One supply cable with the risk of

a complete loss of power supply
ZSV = Special safety power supply source

Power supply with two supply lines
! Two supply cables –

main distribution: In case one
cable fails, an automatic
changeover unit initiates
automatically a transfer to a
second supply line
! changeover time <15s

(time to start the generator)
ZSV = Special safety power supply source

Power supply with two supply lines and a special
safety power supply source
! Two supply lines with a safety

power source
! operating theatre
! The second supply line is
supplied via an UPS system.
This ensures the supply of life-
supporting devices,
independently from the utility
supply and the emergency
generator.
! Switchover time <0.5s

with a battery capacity for 3 hours.

Who knows where the insulation fault is ?

Who knows where the insulation fault is ?
! The problem
! In intensive care locations several socket-outlets are arranged at every
patient place, sometimes up to 24 socket outlets and more
! In an intensive care unit with 4 beds, for example, these are more than
90 socket outlets
! In intensive care units usually no technical experts are present, but
medical personnel
! If an insulation fault occurs, due to a defective device, for example,
nobody knows to which socket outlet the defective device is connected
! In order to guarantee the patient's safety, the insulation fault must be
found as quick as possible.
! But how ?
! The solution
! Insulation fault location system EDS474

Design of an insulation fault location system

Basic function insulation fault location
! PGH... generates a test

current, limited to
harmless values, for a
defined period of time.
! The test current is
detected and evaluated
by the insulation fault
evaluator.
! This current flows via the
insulation fault location
and is sensed by the
CTs lying within the test
current path.
