In the medical field, medical isolation transformers play an indispensable role, primarily ensuring the safety of both patients and medical equipment.
By combining relevant details, we can summarize their functions into the following key points:
1. Electrical Isolation and Power Continuity
The primary function of a medical isolation transformer is electrical isolation. Through electromagnetic induction between the primary and secondary coils, it separates the input power from the output devices, effectively preventing leakage currents. More importantly, when the first insulation fault occurs on the power grid load side, the isolation transformer can prevent tripping, ensuring continuous power supply. Especially in operating rooms and other critical areas, the isolation transformer keeps the power supply neutral ungrounded, posing no harm to patients and thus ensuring both safety and stable power supply in medical environments.
2. Reducing Contact Voltage and Leakage Current
By reducing contact voltage and limiting leakage current, isolation transformers play a crucial role in protecting patients. According to the requirements of the IEC 60601-1 standard, isolation power systems are recommended in critical medical environments such as operating rooms, ICUs, and CCUs. By using single-phase 3KVA-10KVA isolation transformers, leakage currents are kept within safe limits, effectively protecting patient safety. Additionally, isolation transformers prevent ground faults from generating harmful leakage currents that could endanger patients, greatly enhancing the safety of medical equipment.
3. Preventing Current Back flow and Enhancing Fire Safety
Isolation transformers are essential for preventing current backflow, which safeguards both medical equipment and personnel. Additionally, they effectively reduce ground leakage currents, significantly enhancing fire safety. This design is particularly critical in hospital environments, where it ensures that even in the event of a fault, the leakage current won’t cause fires or other safety hazards.
Toroidal isolation transformers in the medical field not only provide essential safety protection but also demonstrate significant advantages in efficiency, size, noise control, and heat dissipation, making them the ideal choice for powering medical equipment.
