Core Requirements of the Hospital Isolated Power System in the Intensive Care Unit

In the heart of the medical field—the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)—the safety of patients' lives is closely related to the stability of the power supply system. Here, patients' conditions are often complex and variable, requiring continuous and stable medical monitoring and treatment to sustain life. Therefore, the stability of the power supply system in the ICU is of paramount importance. This article will delve into the core needs of ICU power stability and analyze how the hospital isolated power system perfectly meets these needs.


Core Needs of ICU Power Stability


In the ICU, various medical devices such as ventilators, monitors, and defibrillators act as lifelines for patients, requiring a stable and uninterrupted power supply. Any power fluctuation or interruption could threaten the safety of patients' lives. Therefore, the ICU power supply system must possess unparalleled stability and reliability.


Additionally, these medical devices have high requirements for power purity. Harmonics and noise in the power grid can disrupt the normal operation of medical devices, potentially causing damage. Therefore, the ICU power supply system must also have excellent filtering and anti-interference capabilities.


How ACREL Hospital Isolated Power System Meets the Core Needs of ICU


With its unique design and principles, the ACREL hospital isolated power system perfectly aligns with the core needs of ICU power stability.


Firstly, the ACREL hospital isolated power system utilizes advanced electrical isolation technology to completely isolate interference signals such as noise and harmonics from the power grid, providing the ICU with pure and stable power. This technology effectively prevents the instability factors of the power grid from affecting the ICU power system.


Secondly, the ACREL hospital isolated power system exhibits extremely high reliability and stability. Its modular design ensures that each module has independent power supply and protection functions. Even if a module fails, the entire hospital isolated power system can still operate normally. This design greatly enhances the system's fault tolerance and reliability.


Finally, the ACREL hospital isolated power system is equipped with intelligent monitoring and fault warning functions. By monitoring the operating status and parameter changes of the power system in real time, the hospital isolated power system can detect abnormalities at the earliest moment and issue warning signals to allow medical staff to respond promptly. This intelligent monitoring and fault warning capability further improves the safety and stability of the ICU power system.


In conclusion, the ACREL medical isolation power board not only provides safe, reliable, and continuous power distribution for critical places' important equipment but also has the capability to convert TN systems to IT systems (ungrounded systems). More importantly, it can monitor key parameters such as the ground insulation resistance of the monitored IT system, transformer load current, and transformer winding temperature in real time, and immediately issue fault alarms when anomalies are detected. If an insulation fault occurs in the IT system, this power board can quickly send fault location signals to the system and accurately locate the fault point in conjunction with the fault locator. Additionally, the ACREL hospital isolated power system is powerful enough to remotely monitor the real-time operation of up to 16 systems, with the main interface intuitively displaying the communication status of the connected systems, ensuring the stability of the entire system.
