Isolated Power Supply

The purpose of an IPS is to protect vunerable patients in Group 2 Medical Locations from the risks associated with electrical leakage currents.

In an IPS unit the outgoing electrical circuits, supplying critical care and life support equpiment, are constantly monitored for short circuits or earth leakage faults. Any fault will result in an audio and visual alarm being raised so that remedial action can be taken by the Maintenance technicians before unexpected loss of electrical power occurs.

IPS units can be supplied in 3.15, 4, 5, 6.3, 8 and 10kVA sizes and these can be single (SIPS), double (DIPS), triple (TIPS) or quadruple (QIPS) in one enclosure.
