Abstract

A brief outline is given of the various advantages and disadvantages of using isolation transformers in conjunction with equipment connection to patients. Particular attention will be paid to the use of symmetrical isolation transformers.

Sommaire

On donne les grandes lignes des divers avantages et désavantages associés avec l'usage des transformateurs d'isolement, conjointement avec les connections d'appareillage aux malades. On porte tout particulièrement attention à l'usage des transformateurs d'isolement alimentant des circuits symétriques.

Zusammenfassung

Ein kurzer Entwurf der verschiedenen Vorteile und Nachteile bei der Verwendung von Trenntransformatoren in Bezug auf Geräteverbindungen zu Patienten wird gegeben. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird bei der Verwendung von Trenntransformatoren geschenkt, die symmetrische Schaltungen speisen.
