Aluminum Potential Equalization Terminal for 8 Devices
- Low touch current - very low contact resistance
- Robust & long-lasting - massive, purified aluminum monobloc housing
- Flexible in use - available with different lengths of Input-cables or with a PE Input Plug
- Easy to clean - compatible with hospital disinfectants
- Easy to install - optional wall-/ shelf mount or rail-/drip-stand mount
The PETE Potential Equalization Terminal gives you the opportunity to connect all the devices inside a Medical Electrical System to one additional protective earth connection. This can help you to use these Medical Electrical Systems according to the latest norms and regulations, within a patient environment, as described in the actual IEC60601-1.
Why is a Protection against high touch current so important?
Medical devices and devices of a Medical Electrical System, which are used within the patient environment, demand very often an additional potential equalization connection. In combination with a power strip, instructs the IEC60601-1 to use an additional protective earth connection too. This is needed to keep the leakage current low enough and to protect the patient and the user against a too high touch current.
Simple and effective mounting possibilities: The PETE can be mounted, with an additional mounting plate, on nearly every shelf or wall. Furthermore, the PETE-8 can also be mounted on a rail or a drip-stand in combination with an additional clamp.
