Two phases with four lines power supply !?

02/16/2009 5:19 AM

I have a Technical Specification of a medical x-ray equipment which states that it requires : Two phases with four lines 380v power supply

I need to know what does that mean ?

Thermal Capacity : 150 KHU
Commute Method : Full Wave Commutation
Tube Voltage : 50~125KV,interval 1KV
Tube Current : 100mA(min) ~500 mA (max) Adjustable
with different grades
Exposure Time : 0.020s~5.000s(23 grades)
Bucky grid : Grid Density : 40L/cM
Grid Ratio : 10:1
Focus Distance : 120cm
Stationary Dimension : 17″17″
Power Supply : Two Phases with Four Lines(380V±10%,
50Hz Inner-resistance≤.3Ω Capacity
≥0KVA)
Structure
Bed Size : 2000×760mm
Bed Height : ≤00mm
Bed Transverse Movement Distance : ±110mm
Bed Longitudinal Movement Distance : ±325mm
Cassette Movement Distance : ≥60mm
X-ray Generator Revolution around Pillar Center: ±90°

Features:
1. Anti-electroshock, radiation-proof, and full wave commutation.
2. With electromagnetism controlling system, fluctuation bed board
and manual operation pillar to ensure a fast and reliable
location.
3. Structure designed based on anthropotomy, with beautiful
appearance, and easy to operate.
4. Convenient to take stretcher photograph.
5. A sternum plank is optional (grid density: 40L/cm; grid ratio:
10:1; focus distance: 120cm;stationary, dimension: 17″×17″,
and distance adjustable)

I believe what is being described is 2 "hot" wires(usually 1 black and 1 red), 1 neutral(white), wire and a ground(green) wire. That is your 4 wire 380 v.

A true "two phase" source needs four wires, two for each phase. There is normally a 180 degree phase angle between the two sources.

If the sources are grounded, there will be continuity between two of the four wires of this system and a potential difference between the others and the grounded pairs. If the sources are not grounded, there will be no continuity nor potential difference.

It should not matter to your equipment what the angle is between the two sources. However, as we are talking medical gear, check with the power supplier to get the maximum permitted phase angle between the two sources and then check with the manufacturer to be sure they are ok one with the other.

Sir, I once again fall on my sword. I stand corrected.
