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

Standard finish is stainless steel but can be

powdercoated upon request

Available in four sizes (see table)

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

powdercoated finish, with the trunking available in a

powdercoated finish

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).

Features

1 x BP25 line tap for bus termination

D?

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.

RIPTION

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.
