[QUOTE="jopo, post: 270180, member: 19454"] Down here i am reasonably familiar with our version of your MEIGaN. our standard is called AS/NZS 3003/2011 "Electrical installations - Patient areas". I am having problems with the terminology. we basically have two types of patient areas. one must comply with a "Body protected area" which really is a area where the patient is in a Doctors consultation room, examination rooms, mothers to be etc etc. the other is the "cardiac protected areas" this is where actual op/theatres, ICU, , High dependecy units. Basically enviroments where the likelihood of instruments being in contact with the insides of your body is greater. It is in the Cardiac protected areas where we pay closer attention to earthing. What i did find interesting in comparison to your post was that in any patient area (in AUS) the RCD devices must be located in the same room and rated at a 10mA trip. you mentioned 30mA. [/QUOTE]
