Transformer for medical

application

Transformers for medical application generally refer to the transformers used in medical devices as well as hospital, biomedical and patient care equipment.

There are a number of strict safety rules, guidelines and laws governing the design, construction and the test of these Transformers. These safety rules, guidelines and laws include, but are not limited to:

• The limit of maximum earth leakage current

• The maximum patient leakage current
• The maximum enclosure leakage current
• The maximum enclosure leakage current
• The maximum patient auxiliary current
• The values of test voltage (high potential
• Voltage test between windings)
• The minimum creep age distance
• The minimum air clearance
• The maximum temperature rise at load and at over load
