Iso-Gard™ Series 6

Schneider Electric has been involved in the design and manufacture of isolated power systems since 1944. Our isolated power systems have evolved over the years and will continue to do so to meet the ever-changing needs of the health care industry.

An isolated power system offers an invaluable advantage in medical settings. It serves as a predictive system, rather than a reactive one, to supply early detection of potential total hazardous current. Early detection gives hospital personnel:

• Visual indication of potential leakage current via a line isolation monitor (LIM)

• Alarming via audible and visual indications when the power system exceeds a pre-set threshold level

With this information, hospital workers can then take appropriate measures to help ensure critical systems remain active.

An isolated, ungrounded, electrical distribution system from Schneider Electric contains the following components:

Standard Isolation System

Standard System offer the most compact solution for a single isolated power system feeding one operating room.

• Designed to support either 120 or 208 V power requirements in the operating room

• 120 V Systems are available in 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 kVA designs

  • Space for 16 branch circuits

• 208 V Systems are available in 7.5, 10, 15, and 25 kVA designs

  • Space for 16 branch circuits

Duplex Isolation Systems

Duplex Systems allow for two standard systems to be mounted in a common backbox and use a common trim. Backbox is barrier to keep the two-system separate. Requires two unique feeds. Solution also offers one side to be design for future space.

• Designed to support either 120 or 208 V power requirements in the operating room

• 120 V Systems are available in 3, 5, 7.5, and 10 kVA designs

  • Space for 16 branch circuits

• 208 V Systems are available in 7.5 and 10 kVA designs

  • Space for 16 branch circuits

Dual Voltage Isolation System

Dual Voltage System are designed to feed both 120 and 208 V power via one Isolation System. Incorporate a transformer with one primary winding and two secondary windings. Supply via One Feed.

• Designed to support both 120 and 208 V power requirements in the operating room

• 120 V Systems are available in 5, 7.5 and 10 kVA

  • Space for 16 branch circuits

• 208 V Systems are available in 7.5 and 15 kVA

  • Space for four branch circuits

Controlled Isolation System

Controlled Systems are designed to provide 208 V of isolated power to multiple areas from one central location. A programmable logic controller (PLC) lets the system be designed to feed multiple load location, but only provide power to specific power modules. This helps prevent overloading of the system, and compliance with 200,000 resistance requirements of NEC, since the PLC limits number of circuits. (Default is one circuit energized)

• Designed to support 208 V power requirements for multiple locations

  • Options for 4, 8, or 12 branch circuits – preconfigured at the factory

• Modular Design provides maximum flexibility and easy for upgrading and changing the system

Interiors: Line Isolation Monitor, Line Isolation connector terminal, 125 Amp 250 V NQ panelboard with copper bus, Dead front, Space for Main Breaker (field installed), allocated space for field installed accessory.

Allocated space for field installed power modules require TRIM with removal blank plate, example: ST8238R

Transformer Disconnect Kit includes: One Transformer, Terminal (Lead wire) to connect to breaker and NQ panelboard, Main Breaker, 120 V Secondary Main Breaker, 208 V Secondary Main Breaker, mounting brackets, Dead Front with System characteristics and UL Label, Dead Front for Secondary Breakers.

Iso-Gard™ Series 6

Iso-Gard Series 6, microprocessor-controlled, line isolation monitor (LIM) is included as standard equipment in all Schneider Electric hospital isolation panels. The Iso-Gard Series 6 LIM incorporates automatic and manual self-test and self-calibration to reduce the frequency of required periodic testing. Microprocessor controlled circuitry for highest accuracy and stability. UL Component Recognized and CSA Classified.
