ETKHO - Medical Insulation Monitor for IT Systems
The medical insulation monitor is a device that ensures the integrity of insulation resistance in IT electrical systems, particularly relevant for medical environments. It operates by connecting between the IT circuit and grounding conductor, superimposing a measurement current to monitor insulation resistance levels. In case the resistance falls below a pre-determined threshold, an alarm is triggered, notifying of potential safety hazards. The monitor is engineered to work with both AC and AC/DC isolated systems and is capable of continuously assessing charge and temperature currents of medical-grade isolation transformers. Additional related products such as the ES 1000A and MRP 249-2 extend functionality by repeating alarms and monitoring multiple IT systems for effective oversight. This equipment is crucial for maintaining patient safety and ensuring the electrical infrastructure's reliability in surgical and other critical hospital settings.
