4.4 Connection of electrosurgical generator to the mains electricity
WARNING
Electric shock
If an unknowingly damaged electrosurgical generator is connected inadequately to the
mains electricity, there is the risk that voltage is applied to the housing by internal electrical
components. This can result in electric shock to the user.
Only connect the electrosurgical generator to a supply mains with protective earth
(grounding).
Before connecting
‒ Make sure that the xed socket outlet is grounded. Only connect the electrosurgical
generator to a grounded xed socket outlet.
‒ Make sure that the xed socket outlet meets the power requirements. Refer to the
section “16 Technical data” on page 99 or to the identication plate on the back panel
of the electrosurgical generator.
‒ Only use power cables as specied in the section “16 Technical data” on page 99.
‒ Only connect the electrosurgical generator if the power specications of the xed socket
outlet match the specications.
‒ If a multiple socket outlet is used, consider the following:
‒ The multiple socket outlet must be equipped with an insulating transformer of
protection class I, conforming to IEC 60601-1.
‒ Observe the maximum permitted current or power loading of the multiple socket outlet
and the insulating transformer.
‒ Make sure that the mains plug is securely connected to the socket outlet.
‒ Do not place portable socket outlets on the oor to avoid trip hazards which can unplug
the power cable.
‒ Make sure that the fuses are sufcient for the power requirements of the electrosurgical
generator and the additional equipment.
‒ Make sure to have a compatible power cable available.
Connecting
1. Make sure that the power switch of the electrosurgical generator is not depressed.
2. Connect one plug of the power cable to the power socket on the rear panel of the
electrosurgical generator.
3. Connect the other plug of the power cable to the socket outlet of the mains electricity.
4. Connect the potential equalization connector to an equipotential bonding lead.
5. Position the electrosurgical generator in a way that the power cable can be disconnected
from the mains electricity.
