Body And Cardiac Protected Electrical Areas
In case you’re wondering, body and cardiac protected electrical areas are found in medical facilities like hospitals, specialised healthcare and treatment clinics, diagnostic centres, and the like. These areas usually run medical equipment for diagnostic purposes, treatments, or monitoring of the vitals of any individual which usually involves the whole body, including the heart.
Standards Australia, as mandated by Victorian Law, has specified safety requirements for electrical installations in patient areas where low-voltage medical electrical equipment is going to be used. The Standards also apply to new electrical installations, alterations, additions, and repairs of existing electrical installations in patient areas designated as body or cardiac-protected.
