High-Voltage Cable Plug and Socket Connections for Medical X-Ray Equipment
| Organization: | IEC |
| Publication Date: | 1 January 1978 |
| Status: | active |
| Page Count: | 22 |
| ICS Code (Plugs, socket-outlets, couplers): | 29.120.30 |
| ICS Code (Radiographic equipment): | 11.040.50 |
scope:
This standard deals with:
- essential dimensions to ensure mechanical interchangeability;
- recommended dimensions;
- wiring connections to contacts of plug and socket;
- marking of contacts of plug and socket;
of three-conductor and four-conductor high-voltage cable plug and socket connections for medical X-ray equipment.
Notes 1. - Ratings of maximum potential difference and electric current are not dealt with in this standard because the behaviour of a high-voltage cable plug and socket connection depends on the materials of the cable termination plug assembly and the receptacle socket assembly, and upon environmental factors.
2. - This standard does not include details or particulars of means for preventing removal of the ring nut (see Sub-clause 2.2) or of the cable termination plug assembly without the use of a tool.
3. - In cases where high-voltage connections of a type not complying with this standard are used, the X-ray equipment shall comply with the appropriate IEC standards.
