Contents
Hospitals have undergone a dramatic
trans for ma tion in the past 20 years. More and more
electrical medical equipment is now used in patient
treatment areas of hospitals and medical practices.
With the increase in the amount of equipment
comes the increased risk of electrocution. As a
result, electrocution protection equipment is now
a common requirement in almost every area of the
hospital and medical practice.
The Electronic Safety Product range of electrocution
protection equipment has been around since the
introduction of electrical safety and the product
range still continues today. Over the years the
product range has proven its reliability and
continues to meet the requirements of hospital
electrical installations today.

Before becoming part of Clipsal Integrated Systems,
the company Electronic Safety Products (ESP), was one
of Australia’s leading designers and manufacturers of
equipment which provides a high level of protection
against electrocution.
Since the 1970s, ESP was involved with the design,
development and manufacture of Residual Current
Devices (RCDs), Line Isolation and Overload Monitors
(LIOMs), and Medical Service Panels suitable for use in
patient treatment areas.
The ESP product range and expertise continues within
Clipsal Integrated Systems and now comprises of a
range of electrocution protection equipment, various
styles of Medical Service Panel Systems, and a large
range of accessories specifically developed to meet the
requirements of patient treatment areas of hospitals.

AS/NZS3003. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS: PATIENT
TREATMENT AREAS OF HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL
AND DENTAL PRACTICES
The ESP Series product range is designed to meet the
requirements of AS/NZS3003. AS/NZS3003 sets out the
specialist electrical installation requirements often found
in the following premises.
Hospitals
Medical Practices
Dental Practices
Physiotherapy Practices
The areas within these premises that would need to
meet AS/NZS3003 are classified as Body or Cardiac
Protected Areas. The procedures carried out to classify
these areas as Body or Cardiac Protected are as follows:
Within Body Protected Areas procedures are carried
out where a patient is connected to an item of
electro-medical equipment which reduces the
impedance of the skin by either electrode paste or
by the entrance of conducting fluids, metal needles,
saline filled catheters etc.
Within Cardiac Protected Areas the same procedures
are carried out as in the Body Protected Areas but also
procedures where a patient has an electrical conductor
placed within the heart or is likely to come into contact
with the heart eg. electrical wires such as cardiac pacing
electrodes and intracardiac ECG electrodes, or insulated
tubes filled with conducting fluids.

SURFACE MOUNT
Medical Service Panels (MSPs) provide access to power,
data, nurse call, hospital gas and environmental controls
in patient areas of hospitals and medical practices.
The Surface Mount MSP system is typically used in areas
of a hospital where an MSP incorporating a limited
number of accessories is required to be mounted to
a wall that is not easily suited to the installation of
a recessed wall box. An example of this would be in
a refurbishment of an existing area within a hospital
where the walls are of brick construction.
Features
Incorporates a fascia and surface mount box that is
directly mounted to the face of the wall
Accessories are typically mounted directly
to the fascia

SURFACE MOUNTED DUCT
Medical Service Panels (MSPs) provide access to power,
data, nurse call, hospital gas and environmental controls
in patient areas of hospitals and medical practices.
The Surface Mounted Duct MSP system is primarily used
in areas of a hospital where long lengths of medical
service panels are required. The advantages of a surface
mount system over a flush mount system is that there is
less internal wall preparation required. This is because
the wall does not need to be modified to accommodate
recessed wall boxes or modified to accommodate long
runs of wiring and gas piping.
Features
Unlimited MSP length
Incorporates 3 segregation service channels so all
services can run within the trunking instead of the walls
Square cross section so it can be neatly mounted
underneath a shelf
The panels are available in stainless steel or

Line Isolation & Overload Monitor (LIOM) Operation
An isolated supply is a continuous supply. The isolation
transformer isolates the power from earth, therefore a fault
on both lines of secondary transformer winding to earth
needs to occur before a fault current flows. A fault on only
one line and earth will not cause a fault current to flow.
A Line Isolation and Overload Monitor (LIOM) enables
the integrity of an isolated power supply system to be
continuously monitored. The LIOM is able to detect
when one fault occurs therefore is able to warn of a
potentially hazardous situation before any fault current
actually flows. The first fault is known as Prospective
Hazard Current (PHC). The LIOM displays the PHC on a
LCD bar graph display and when 5mA PHC is reached
a mutable alarm sounds, along with a flashing LED
indicator labelled “PHC Warning”.
If a PHC alarm condition arises, the medical staff can, in
the light of the seriousness of the patient’s condition,
choose to continue with the procedure. In this situation,
the surgeon is relying on a second fault not occurring
that would turn the PHC into a real flow of current.
During this time, measures can be taken to rectify the
fault condition by, for example, disconnecting all non-
essential equipment.
In addition to the LIOM monitoring isolation it also
warns of an impending overload, thus averting problems
which could result from a loss of supply. When the
overload level is reached a mutable alarm sounds along
with an “Overload Warning” flashing LED indicator.

Installation
When installing an isolated supply there are several
things to take into consideration.
Long runs of cable between the transformer and
the LIOM and/or long runs between the LIOM and
the outlets should be avoided. Due to capacitive
coupling between cables and between cables and
conduit, runs longer than 50m can result in high
standing PHC (ie;>2mA).
Parallel runs of cables from two or more isolated
supply systems should also be avoided, The ‘cross
talk’ between parallel cables may cause rhythmic
fluctuations on the unit's displays. Where parallel
wiring cannot be avoided, wiring should include
an earth (eg; TPS). The earth conductor should be
earthed only at one end of its run. Whilst running
cable in this manner will lessen ‘cross talk’ problems,
it may increase standing PHC.
Because the E05 LIOM monitors the load current ‘on
line’ the LIOM must be the first item connected to
the secondary winding of the isolation transformer.
All items to be powered from the isolated supply
must connect back to the terminals of the LIOM
labelled “Active 1 Out” and ”Active 2 Out”. Failure to
do this will result in incorrect measurements of the
load current.
Due to the high inrush current when power is first
applied to the isolation transformer a suitable circuit
breaker needs to be chosen. It is recommended to
use a Heinemann Electric CF Series Circuit Breaker.

E34 AND E35 SERIES
The E34 and E35 Series Equipotential Junctions (EPJ)
form part of the Equipotential Earthing System which
provides micro electrocution protection in cardiac
protected areas as detailed in AS/NZS3003 “Electrical
Installations - Patient treatment areas of hospitals and
medical and dental practices”.
The EP Earthing system requires all earthed points
within the cardiac protected area to be connected
back to a common EP Junction via low resistance earth
wiring (large cross section). The low resistance system
reduces the potential difference between two earthed
points in the area therefore reducing the risk of micro
electrocution from the stray currents flowing in the
earthing system.
The E34 and E35 Series EPJ is available in the four
different styles of ESP Series Medical Service Panels (MSP).

Why is there a need for special electrical installations in patient treatment areas?
Modern medical procedures utilise and increasingly rely
on, electrical and electronic equipment. This equipment
ranges from lighting to patient monitors and electro-
surgical equipment.
The human body’s main defence against the effects of
electrical current passing through it are two-fold. Firstly,
the resistance of the skin, which limits the amount of
current that can pass. Secondly, the muscular contractions
that accompany electric shock usually tend to disconnect
the subject from the source of electrical energy.
In medical procedures, both of these factors may be
radically altered. Firstly, electrodes may enter the body
or be attached to the skin, thus bypassing the skins
resistance. Fluid may be taken from the body, treated
and then returned (eg: kidney dialysis), providing
a low resistance path for electrical current into the
body. Secondly, the patient may be under anaesthetic.
The source of the current (ie: an electrode) may be
fastened to the patient and so not easily disconnected.
Furthermore, where electrical conductors come in close
contact with the heart (eg; in open heart surgery or
pacemaker implantation), the imperceptible current that
can flow between normally safe earthed conductors may
result in micro shock, and possible death.
There are three main results from current passing
through the human body. Refer to graph on the
following page. These are firstly, burning, particularly
where the current enters and leaves the body.
Secondly, muscular paralysis, which may temporarily
halt breathing. Thirdly, electric shock may cause
cardiac arrest; this ventricular fibrillation results in the
pump chambers and valves of the heart going out of
synchronisation, and blood ceases to be pumped around
the body. The first two effects, whilst uncomfortable,
seldom cause permanent damage. Ventricular fibrillation
on the other hand, requires immediate reversal with the
defibrillator before brain damage or death occurs.
Electrical hazards are not only present for patients,
but also for medical staff. The use of a multiplicity of
equipment which individually presents no hazard may
give rise to current paths within the patient circuit that
cause a problem. Equipment that is designed to deliver
current to patients (ie; diathermy electro-surgical units
or defribillators) also have the potential, if damaged,
mis-wired or incorrectly used, to produce an electrocution
hazard to the patient of equipment operator.

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS
Zone 1Usually no reaction effects.
Zone 2Usually no harmful physiological effects.
Zone 3Usually no organic damage to be expected. Likelihood of muscular contractions and difficulty in breathing. Reversible disturbances of formation and conduction of impulses in the heart, including atrial fibrillation and transient cardiac increasing with current magnitude and time.
Zone 4In addition to the effects to Zone 3, probability of ventricular fibrillation increasing up to about 5% (Curve C2), up to about 50% (Curve C3) and above 50% beyond Curve C3. Increasing with magnitude and time, pathophysiological effects such as cardiac arrest, breathing arrest and heavy burns may occur.

Area Classification & Requirements
Medical treatment areas can be divided into the
following three categories, as detailed in AS/NZS3003
“Electrical Installations - Patient treatment areas of
hospitals and medical and dental practices”.
UNPROTECTED AREA
If procedures do not require the physical attachment
of electro-medical equipment to the patient, electrical
safety in such areas typically involves nothing more than
normal domestic or industrial wiring practices. The area
in this case is known as an ‘Unprotected Area’.
BODY PROTECTED AREA
Where electro-medical equipment is attached to
external parts of the body so that contact resistance is
reduced and ready disconnection is also not possible,
Body Area Protection is required. Examples of areas and
procedures that may require this type of protection are
ECG, EMG, EEG, and Physiotherapy rooms, plus any
room used for dialysis.
A Body Protected Area requires installation of Residual
Current Devices (RCDs) or Line Isolation and Overload
Monitors (LIOMs) plus meeting the additional
requirements detailed in AS/NZS3003.
CARDIAC PROTECTED AREA
Where electro-medical equipment is in close contact
with the heart, Cardiac Area Protection is required.
Examples of areas and procedures that may require
this type of protection include CCU, ICU, and operating
theatres where cardiac procedures are performed.
A Cardiac Protected Area requires firstly RCD and/or
LIOM protection as per Body Protected Areas, and
secondly an Equipotential Earthing System plus meeting
the additional requirements detailed in AS/NZS3003.

RCD Functional Description
An RCD provides “macro” electrocution protection by
removing power when a fault current is detected.
The RCD uses the magnetic field created around a
current carrying conductor to detect the imbalance
of current caused when a sufficiently low impedance
path is provided to earth. This path may constitute a
faulty piece of equipment, the patient, a member of the
nursing staff, or a combination of these.
The active and neutral conductors are passed through a
toroid coil which is a coil containing many turns of wire
around a ‘doughnut’ shaped core. A changing magnetic
field will cause a voltage to be induced into the coil. This
voltage is detected and used to switch off the supply by
opening the breaker contacts.
During normal operation the currents flowing in the
active and neutral conductors are equal and opposite,
hence the voltage in the coil is zero. However, should
current pass through a resistance to earth, the resulting
imbalance of current flowing through the active and
neutral conductors (the residual current) will, if it is of
sufficient magnitude, cause the supply to be interrupted.
Any RCD in a Cardiac or Body Protected Area should
trip off with a residual current of between five and ten
milliamps (mA) and should interrupt the supply within
forty milliseconds (ms) of the fault occurring. Please
note that the RCD does not limit the magnitude of the
fault current, it limits the duration that it flows.

NLine Isolation & Overload Monitor Functional Description
The isolated supply comprises of a Line Isolation and
Overload Monitor (LIOM) and isolation transformer, and
is used to protect against “macro” electrocution. It is a
continuous supply which differs from an RCD protected
supply, which removes power when a fault is detected.
An isolation transformer isolates the power from
earth therefore a fault on both lines of the secondary
transformer winding to earth needs to occur before a
fault current flows. A fault on only one line and earth will
not cause a fault current to flow. This current that does
not flow is known as Prospective Hazard Current (PHC).
A LIOM enables the integrity of an isolated power supply
system to be continuously monitored. The LIOM is able
to detect when one fault occurs therefore is able to
warn of a potentially hazardous situation before any
fault current actually flows.
In order for the LIOM to monitor the isolation of any
system with respect to earth, a small test signal must
be injected between those same two points. If the test
signal is to be applied continuously, it should be in a form
which does not affect the integrity of the isolated system.
For this reason, voltage sources cannot be used as they
would solidly bind one part of the ‘isolated’ system to
earth. Current sources, on the other hand, exhibit a high
impedance characteristic and if kept to a low amplitude,
will not significantly effect the isolation of a system.
The measurement of an impedance with a current source
is relatively simple; inject a known current and measure
the voltage drop across the test impedance. If, however,
there is already a current flowing in the test impedance,
the test current must be encoded in some manner so that
the corresponding voltage drop may be determined.
When measuring the impedance from one line to earth
in this manner, the value obtained is equal to the parallel
combination of all impedances between the isolated
system and earth. The current that would flow in the
event of a fault can be calculated by taking into account
the voltages between each line and earth.

Equipotential Earthing System Functional Description
The Equipotential Earthing System is used to protect
against “micro” electrocution.
The EP Earthing system requires all earthed points within
the cardiac protected area to be connected back to a
common EP Junction via low resistance earth wiring
(large cross section).
The low resistance system reduces the potential
difference between two earthed points in the area
therefore reducing the risk of micro electrocution caused
by the stray currents flowing the earthing system.

Choosing between an RCD or LIOM
All socket outlets and directly wired equipment (eg;
X-Ray machines) in Body and Cardiac Protected Areas must
be protected by RCDs or an Isolated Supply and LIOM.
The selection of whether to use an RCD or an Isolated
Supply and LIOM depends on the type of procedures to
be undertaken, taking into account current and future
requirements.
The main difference between the two systems of
protection is in continuation of supply. If the interruption
of the supply after the detection of a Line-to-Earth fault
makes the RCD system unacceptable for medical reasons,
the Isolated Supply and LIOM should be chosen.
If an evaluation determines that an Isolated Supply and
LIOM are required for a particular procedure undertaken
within one theatre, this requirement does not necessarily
extend to all theatres in the suite or to all outlets in that
particular theatre.
Any one area may have some sockets protected by RCDs
and some protected by Isolated Supplies and LIOMs.
However, neither RCDs nor LIOMs in one Cardiac or
Body Protected Area may supply sockets or equipment
in another Cardiac or Body Protected Area, or in an
unprotected area. No unprotected socket outlets are
allowed within a Body or Cardiac Protected Area.
