Nowhere is PG LIFELINK's commitment to quality, and above all safety, more evident than in the components that go into the manufacture of our Laser and X-ray Isolated Power Panels.
These components include:
The single phase, stacked core Isolation Transformer with electrostatic shield is designed for low leakage and quiet operation. The maximum leakage current is only 10 microamps for 5 KVA, 14 microamps for 7.5 KVA, 25 microamps for 10 KVA, 30 microamps for 15 KVA and 35 microamps for 25 KVA.
Ratings available — 5, 7½, 10, 15 or 25 KVA
Primary voltage — 110, 120, 208, 220, 240, 277 or 480
Secondary voltage — 120, 208, 220 or 240
The self-testing, self-calibrating PG LIFELINK Mark IV Line Isolation Monitor offers continuous monitoring with non-switching circuitry, as well as low monitor hazard current of less than 15 microamps, a 5 milliamp alarm point and sensitivity to LIM "loss of ground". For more information, refer to the Line Isolation Monitor section.
In accordance with code requirements, we use two-pole Circuit Breakers. The panel houses the primary main circuit breaker and up to twelve bolt on secondary breakers.
The Branch Signal Terminal Blocks are supplied for the connection of remote signal conductors.
The Branch Power Terminals are supplied for the connection of remote power conductors.
The Ground Bus is used for connection of all internal and branch ground conductors.
The Branch Mercury Contactors are used to control power for the remote circuits.
NFPA-99 requires isolated power in flammable anesthesia and "wet locations" or any area where the interruption of power cannot be tolerated.

Other Features
Each mercury contactor has it's own branch breaker to protect it's circuit. This
gives you the option to mix amperage on the same system. Many hospitals have
different models of lasers, 20, 30, 50 and 60 amp lasers are common. With selectable
plug control in the XTL, you can operate more than one laser at any one
time while saving the cost of two or more power supplies. The XTL system is field
adjustable so you can make changes in the future.
Advantages
Capability to run up to four lasers at any one time
Multi amperage branch breakers
Remote control inside the operating room
Eliminates accidental shutdowns
Field adjustable
