BS EN 61558-2-15 deals with safety aspects of isolating transformers for the supply of medical locations. BS EN 61558-2-15 is applicable to stationary, single-phase or three-phase, air-cooled (natural or forced) independent dry-type isolating transformers for the supply of medical IT systems for group 2 medical locations, designed to be permanently connected to the fixed wiring, and intended to form the IT power system on the secondary side. The windings may be encapsulated or non-encapsulated.
BS EN 61558-2-15 is applicable to transformers without limitation of the rated output subject to an agreement between the purchaser, and the manufacturer.
BS EN 61558-2-15 on requirements, and tests for isolating transformers is helpful for:
Having constant power supply is essential for medical institutions as the health, and wellbeing of patients depend on medical appliances which run on electricity. BS EN 61558-2-15 provides manufacturers with the requirements which will allows them to test, and use transformers, and power supply units dedicated to medical locations.
BS EN 61558-2-15 also provides users with the general requirements, general notes on tests and steps for protection against electric shock which ensures safe installation, and application of isolating transformers.
