Electrical Requirements

WARNING: You MUST select the operating voltage when placing an order. The operating voltage CANNOT be modified on site.

You must use the provided dedicated three-wire electrical line protected by a 16 A breaker (D curve) and an RCCB of 30 mA from the electrical panel.

A power supply line generally consists of a three-wire cable (2 conductors + ground). The minimum cross-section is 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) and the wire colors and characteristics correspond to the electrical regulations of each country.

The maximum cable length is:

12 m (13 yd.) in 100-130 V
24 m (26 yd.) in 230-240 V

For longer lines, the cross-section is increased accordingly, e.g., 3 mm² (12 AWG) for a 32 m (35 yd.) long cable in 240 V.

IMPORTANT: You must use a cross-section that matches the regulations in force in the specific country.

The unit can operate at:

100/110/130 V
230/240 V

The apparent line resistance must be less than or equal to:

0.2 Ω in 110/130 V
0.5 Ω in 230/240 V

The X-ray unit must have a fixed connection to the electrical power network.

Table 4–1 Optional Operating Unit Voltages

Rated voltage (off-load)	Minimum	Maximum	Maximum line current
100 V/110 V/130 V	90 V	144 V	12 A
230 V/240 V	207 V	264 V	5 A

IMPORTANT: The maximum line current is obtained by following the instructions to connect the generator power supply cable. The maximum on-load voltage variation on the line must not exceed 3%.

WARNING: If other appliances are installed on the same line, interference and voltage variations may cause your X-ray unit to operate abnormally. To prevent electric shocks, you must use a ground connection.
