Key words operating room distribution insulation monitoring IT system grid fault

At present, a large number of electrical medical devices are collected in the operating room of the hospital, among which the medical electrical equipment that contacts human internal organs (hearts), brains and other organs needs to be monitored for insulation and special protection. In our country's standards and specifications, the provisions for the design of medical electrical equipment safety protection and insulation monitoring are not detailed or comprehensive, and have not yet been able to communicate with IEC 364-7-710 (Electrical Installation in Buildings Part 7: Special area installation requirements) Standard connection. The author discusses the design and equipment selection of the power distribution and insulation monitoring system in the operating room.

1 IEC standards for operating room power and insulation monitoring

IEC 364-7-710 (1997) ("Electrical Installation in Buildings") Part VII: Requirements for Special Installations in Special Areas Section 710: Medical Places for Grouping and Uninterrupted Power Supply According to Risk of Electric Shock Requires classification, and belongs to the 0.5-category site of the second application group, with only the surgical preparation room, operating room, and special nursery room; for the above-mentioned site, IEC 364-7-710•413•1•5: Except IEC 364-7 Equipment other than those specified in -710•413•1•3, medical electrical equipment, lighting, and similar lighting equipment for life or surgical operations, equipment with a rated voltage exceeding AC250V or DC60V, must use IT equipment with insulation resistance monitoring equipment Power system, the instrument should also satisfy: 1 ​​internal AC insulation resistance must be greater than 100KΩ. 2 The test voltage is not more than DC25V. 3 The test current must not exceed 1 mA even under fault conditions. 4 At the latest when the insulation resistance has dropped to 50KΩ, there should be a display, and a test instrument should be provided to test the device. 5 If the ground wire or circuit connection is loose, there should be a display.

2 Provisions and Problems of "Civil Building Electrical Design Code" (JGJ/T16-2008)

In the "Civil Building Electrical Design Code" (JGJ/T16-2008) (hereinafter referred to as "the People's Regulations"), only in Article 14.7.6.3 that "after the sudden interruption of power supply, there is a risk of causing serious medical care, should be used The power system is not grounded (IT system power supply mode). Article 14.2.8: "The IT system must be equipped with an insulation monitor and ground fault alarm or display device." In some actual designs, the medical isolation transformer is used only for the important medical sites, the IT system power is drawn, and an insulation monitoring device is set in the room distribution box. The system diagram is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1 IT system insulation monitoring

The above design is too simple and general, and some measurement methods of the insulation monitoring instrument are backward, which can not accurately and reliably display and alarm, leaving a great hidden danger for the distribution of the operation room and other important medical sites.

3 Design of operating room distribution and insulation monitoring system

According to “Part I: General requirements for safety” in the “Medical Electrical Equipment” (GB9706.1-93), in combination with IEC 364-7-710 and “Public Regulations”, the author summarizes the experience of designing electrical distribution and insulation monitoring in the operating room. The operating room distribution and insulation monitoring are discussed as follows.

3.1 Design Examples

a. The monitor uses the products of Ancorui Electric Co., Ltd.

b. Since the operating room is equipped with a large number of single-phase medical electrical equipment, the IT system power supply requires the N-line. According to the requirements of Article 8.6.6.6 of the "Public Regulations", an over-current protector shall be installed on the N line. Therefore, a two-pole (single-phase) low-voltage circuit breaker is used to cut off the phase line or the N line when a second phase-to-ground (short-circuit) fault occurs in the IT system power supply.

c. Use the AITR6300 isolation transformer to meet single-phase load requirements.

d. AIM-M series insulation monitor is used. It has the following functions: 1 It monitors the insulation resistance and the range is 10~999KΩ. 2 Monitor the load current in the range of 2.1 to 50A. 3 Monitor the isolation transformer temperature. 4 online monitoring instrument and power grid, N line, PE line connection. 5 online monitoring instrument and current transformer connection. 6 online monitoring instrument and temperature sensor connection. 7 two relay alarm output, LED alarm indication.

When the AIM-M series insulation monitor is connected to the current transformer AKH-0.66P26, it can be used to monitor the load condition of the isolation transformer; the temperature sensor PT100 inside the isolation transformer (terminal ST in Figure 2 and Figure 3) can be monitored. Transformer temperature conditions.

e. Select AID series external alarm and display instrument, installed on the operation room information control panel, display all the information of AIM-M series insulation monitor, and have the function of remotely setting alarm parameters of AIM-M series insulation monitor.

f. The communication between each instrument in Fig. 2 is realized through the RS485 interface. The communication between each instrument in Fig. 3 is realized through the CAN interface.

g. Use the instrument-specific power supply ACLP10-24 to ensure the reliability and stability of the power supply used by the instrument. ACLP10-24 can convert AC220V to DC24V.

4 Types of insulation monitor and monitoring principle

The insulation monitor continuously monitors the insulation of the IT system grid. When the insulation value drops to the pre-designed response value, an audible and visual alarm is issued to enable the insulation fault to be timely monitored and maintained, ensuring the reliability of the IT system's power supply. .

4.1 Superimposed DC Measurement Voltage Method

A direct current measuring voltage is superimposed between the power grid and the protective conductor. The positive pole is connected to the power grid via a high-impedance coupling resistor, and the negative pole is connected to the earth via an electronic circuit. When the IT system grid has an insulation fault, the measuring circuit is closed at the insulation fault. At this time, the DC measurement current I m ​​flows through the measurement resistor R m through the insulation fault, and I m is evaluated by the electronic circuit.

Figure 4 principle of superposition DC measurement voltage method

This measurement method can only be used in pure AC single-phase or three-phase power grids. If there are DC components, large capacitors in the power grid, or changes in voltage and frequency, the accuracy of the method will be affected.

4.2 Asymmetric voltage measurement

The measurement method uses a bridge circuit to connect with the two poles of the monitored grid, as shown in Figure 5. No voltage signal is superimposed on the grid, but the grid voltage is used as the drive voltage. When a phase occurs to earth fault, it will cause voltage drift. Rf+ or Rf- drive measuring current I m. The current is recorded by the electronic circuit. When the value reaches the response value, the alarm relay will act. A balanced short-circuit to earth fault occurs and the instrument cannot identify the fault. The method cannot directly show the kΩ-level insulation fault to ground. This measurement method is suitable for use in a DC grid.

Figure 5 Principle of asymmetric voltage measurement

5 IT system grid ground fault analysis

When the first ground fault occurs in the IT system power grid, according to Article 8.6.4.15 of the “Civil Regulations”, the power supply can be automatically cut off, and an insulation monitor can be used for sound and light alarms. The fault should be eliminated within the shortest time. For example, if the second ground fault occurs in the IT system power grid, as shown in Figure 6, after ground fault occurs on device I, ground fault occurs on device II. The fault point is subject to line voltage, causing a short-circuit fault. Operating rooms, surgical preparation rooms, and special care rooms are geographically distant from each other in the hospital. The external conductive parts of the medical electrical equipment are each grounded. If there are several medical electrical equipments located close to each other or in a unified room, they should be used. Common grounding.
