Case Study: Eliminating Tripping Issues in a CT Scan Facility Through Advanced Power Conditioning
Resolving Critical Power Issues for Reliable CT Scan Operations
How a DSP-based UPS system stabilized performance and eliminated repeated machine tripping in a high-dependency diagnostic setup.
Client Snapshot
- Industry: Healthcare / Diagnostic Center
- Location: CT Scan Unit
- Facility Type: Urban Diagnostic Center
- UPS Capacity: 60kVA DSP-Based Online UPS
- Operational Requirement: Continuous, interruption-free scanning
The Challenge
A diagnostic center operating a CT scan machine was facing frequent and unexplained machine tripping, severely affecting daily operations.
The issue was traced to phase sequence errors and unstable input power conditions, which are particularly critical in CT scan machines due to the presence of high-precision motors and rotating components.
Key challenges included:
- Continuous tripping of the CT scan machine due to phase sequence disturbances
- Interruptions during active scans, leading to procedure failures and delays
- Increased patient waiting time and operational inefficiencies
- Technician dependency on repeated system restarts
- Risk to expensive medical equipment due to inconsistent power conditions
Traditional solutions such as stabilizers and DG backup were ineƯective, as they could not detect or correct phase sequence issues and fast transient disturbances.
Solution Provided
We deployed a 60kVA DSP-Based Online UPS system specifically engineered for sensitive and high-load medical applications.
Key Features of the Solution:
- DSP-Based Technology enabling significantly faster response time compared to conventional systems
- Phase Sequence Protection, ensuring correct phase alignment at all times
- Advanced power conditioning for handling fluctuations, disturbances, and transient errors
- Continuous clean and stable power supply suitable for motor-driven medical equipment
Why This Solution Was Effective
- The DSP-based architecture responded instantly to input irregularities, preventing disturbances from reaching the CT machine
- Phase sequence protection eliminated tripping issues, ensuring uninterrupted machine operation
- Faster response time allowed the system to correct power anomalies in real-time
- The UPS provided a stable environment required for motor-driven components within the CT scanner
Key Highlights
- Complete resolution of phase sequence-related tripping
- High-speed response for sensitive medical applications
- Enhanced protection for motor-based equipment
- Seamless integration with existing infrastructure
Results
- Complete elimination of machine tripping issues
- Smooth and uninterrupted CT scan operations
- Improved patient handling and reduced waiting time
- Increased reliability and confidence for technicians
- No further interruptions or system faults reported
Conclusion
By addressing critical power quality issues such as phase sequence errors and transient disturbances, the implemented DSP-based UPS system ensured stable and reliable CT scan operations. The solution significantly improved operational eƯiciency while safeguarding high-value medical equipment.
