MRI CT Scanners and DNO Voltage fluctuations.

Ian King

How are older (6-10 years) MRI CT scanners running in the UKs Hospitals coping with Line voltage peaks exceeding 440 volts rms ?

Is it fair to link peaks like this on PV on sunny days even in winter ?

    I have just had a CT scan at Musgrove Park hospital, Taunton and enquired of the technician as to the electrical arrangements. Was told that the machine has its own supply from the nearby substation and the voltage fluctuations are seldom a problem.

    It is designed to work from 340 volts (about the lower limit of a European nominal 380 volt supply) up to 440 volts (about the upper limit of a UK nominal 415 volt supply)
