PRELIMINARY
2-2-5 Electrical Requirements
NOTE: GE requires a dedicated mains power line and Ground for the proper operation of its Ultrasound
equipment. This dedicated power line shall originate at the last distribution panel before the
system.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not shared with any other circuit), and a full
size Ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full
size Ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within the facility, the Ground from the
main facility's incoming power source to the Ultrasound unit is only a conduit.
2-2-5-1 Venue Fit™ Power Requirements
Electrical specifications for the Venue Fit™ system are as follows:
2-2-5-2 Inrush Current
Inrush current is not a factor for consideration, due to the inrush current limiting properties of the power
supplies.
2-2-5-3 Site Power Outlets
A dedicated AC power outlet must be within reach of the unit without requiring the use of extension
cords. Other outlets adequate for the external peripherals, medical and test equipment required to
support this unit must also be present and located within 1 m (3.2 ft) of the unit. Electrical installation
must meet all current local, state, and national electrical codes.
2-2-5-4 Mains Power Plug
The Venue Fit™ portable ultrasound scanner is supplied with an AC power cable, as standard. In the
event that the unit arrives without a power cable, or a power cable fitted with an incorrect plug, contact
your GE dealer. When necessary, the installation engineer will supply the appropriate power plug to
meet the applicable local regulations.
