Medical power supplies come in various forms and sizes, featuring options such as auto-ranging and high efficiency. These power supplies ensure uninterrupted and reliable power, even when input voltages fluctuate. They often include features like LED status indicators, EMI filtering, and fail-safe shutoff systems to maintain stability.
KEMET also provides essential components for medical devices. Our top hat diaphragms exceed expectations with lifetimes of 10 million cycles or more. Additionally, our silicone products inhibit microbial growth, making them ideal for medical use. Frequently used in sterilization units, they withstand temperatures exceeding 500 degrees and protect sensitive equipment by providing vibration damping.
Products and Solutions
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – Medical Power Supplies
Medical facilities, hospitals & laboratories rely on UPS systems for a safe, uninterrupted power supply. These systems follow VDE 0558 507 standards and offer central battery-backed power to medical facilities, including operating rooms and intensive care units. The battery-powered system, consisting of a rectifier, inverter, static bypass, and battery, converts DC voltage into sinusoidal AC voltage. This AC output meets all medical equipment requirements for waveform, voltage, and frequency.
Advanced Medical Power Supplies Technology
Medical power supplies (UPS) systems run in Online Mode, ensuring no switching events during a power outage. They continue to supply power uninterrupted, maintaining voltage and frequency stability for modern medical devices. The systems include galvanic isolation, preventing the battery from connecting to the mains potential, increasing security. Ground faults in the battery circuit are monitored, and any issues are detected immediately, allowing for timely maintenance. The inverters provide a high short-circuit current, which safely de-energizes defective equipment during a power outage, ensuring other consumer loads remain powered.
Capacity Testing with Energetic Recovery
Operators manually initiate battery capacity tests through the operating panel, protected by a password. The system also allows for automatic testing. During the test, the inverter feeds battery energy back into the grid, offering an energy-efficient alternative to traditional load resistance tests. The results from these tests help monitor battery aging and potential capacity loss.
Signal Alerts and Fault Detection
Signal alerts for operating conditions and faults are communicated to users via relay contacts. These alerts, provided as 24V DC signals, ensure that theater operators stay informed of system conditions. Optional protocol converters support SNMP, ModBus, or SMI for enhanced communication and alerting.
Maintenance-Friendly Design
Our UPS systems are designed for easy servicing. All components are front-accessible, allowing quick replacement of parts like fans without requiring expensive service calls. Trained electricians can replace the fans using special wing bolts, minimizing downtime.
External Manual Bypass for Medical power supply (UPS)
The VDE 0558-710 directive requires an external manual bypass for BBPS systems. We provide this as an optional feature using cam switches that activate the system in a single action, reducing the risk of operator error. These switches are available as individual units or in a housing cabinet.
