Electrical Installation in Hospitals are critical due to its working environment and sensitivity such as:
WET Areas, where chance of electric shock is high for the patient and the medical staff,
Oxygen enriched areas, where the chance of fire is high,
Life supporting equipment connected to patients having applied parts by passing skin,
Medical electrical equipment or system producing Electro Magnetic Environment (EMI),
Availability of power and stand by power, change over etc,
Highly sensitive electronic systems.
The safety measures required are
Low touch voltages to avoid shock hazard,
Continuity of supply during a fault by an IT supply (called as OT panels),
Over current and earth fault protection in oxygen enriched areas. Faster disconnections and avoidance of arc/spark,
Protection of electronics from failures such as Temporary over voltage,
Electro Magnetic compatibility to ensure displays, sensors and other devices are operating without any distortion,
Regular and period maintenance.
The products and services offered by CAPE electric ensure that all these requirements are satisfied, and the installation is in compliance with the code of practice.
