scope:

This part of IEC 61558 deals with safety of isolating transformers for medical IT systems for the supply of medical locations. NOTE 1 - Safety includes electrical, thermal and mechanical aspects. Unless otherwise specified, from here onward, the term transformer covers isolating transformers for medical IT systems for the supply of medical locations. This document is applicable to isolating transformers, single-phase or three-phase, air-cooled (natural or forced) dry-type transformers for the supply of medical IT system for group 2 medical locations, designed to be permanently connected to the fixed wiring and intended to form the medical IT system on the secondary side. The windings can be encapsulated or non encapsulated. NOTE 2 - IT systems are defined in IEC 60364-1. The installation rules for medical IT system for group 2 medical locations are covered by IEC 60364-7-710. Transformers covered by this document are intended for medical IT systems for the supply of medical locations. All other transformers or equipments connected downstream from the transformer are not covered by this document. The rated supply voltage does not exceed 1 000 V AC. The rated supply frequency and internal operational frequency do not exceed 500 Hz. The rated output does not be less than 0,5 kVA and does not exceed 10 kVA for single-phase and three-phase transformers for medical IT system for group 2 medical locations. This document may be applicable to isolating transformers intended to supply other medical installations that are not group 2 medical locations without limitation of the rated output subject to an agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. NOTE 3 - Transformers intended to supply distribution networks other than medical IT systems are not included in the scope. The no-load output voltage and the rated output voltage does not exceed 250 V AC for single-phase or three-phase transformer (phase-to-phase voltage). This document does not cover power suppl ...
