Abstract The definition, composition and characteristics of IT system, the attention points of IT system using in medical sites are expounded. The expansions of the insulation monitoring functions of the IT system are introduced, including overload detection of IT system, temperature detection of the isolation transformer of IT system, the grounding fault location detection of IT system, as well as the insulation monitoring and the central monitoring system for all kinds of testing.
Key words IT system Insulation monitoring Overload detection Temperature detection of the isolation transformer Fault location
a. 由于系统电源端带电导体不接地,即使系统发生单相接地故障也只能通过系统对地电容构成回路,故障回路阻抗极大,故障电流极小,发生电击的危险很小,所以不必及时切断电源来防电击,从而维持供电的不间断,只有在发生第二此接地故障时才要求切断电源 [1] 。同时,安装在系统中的绝缘监测器能及时地检测并给出系统绝缘故障报警信号,提醒工作人员及时排除故障。因此IT系统是一个连续、可靠的供电系统。
b. IT系统中的绝缘监测器,一方面实时监测系统的绝缘状态,另一方面还检测系统的过负荷和变压器的温升状态,一旦出现异常立即报警。因此IT系统能够减少因系统发热、漏电等原因引起的电气火灾事故,大大提高了系统的防火安全性。
c. 在IT系统中,提高回路的绝缘阻抗、降低回路对地电容,是提高系统安全性与可靠性的关键。因此在系统设计时要尽量缩短系统配电线路的长度,减小系统容量,减少系统分支回路数,并做好线路的绝缘防护措施。这也就限制了IT系统仅能用在重要的局部的供电场所,如化工、制药企业的一些程序控制生产线,医疗场所的手术室、重症监护室等场所。
