Power supply unit, in particular for a sterilization device, comprising a housing and an electric system, wherein the electric system is located within the housing, wherein the housing is filled with an insulation gas, in particular nitrogen, wherein the insulation gas is adapted to electrically insulate the electric system.

Power supply unit

Power supply unit, in particular for a sterilization device, comprising a housing, an electric system and an electric insulation system, wherein the electric insulation system comprises at least one insulation shield, wherein the electric system is located within the housing, and wherein the electric system has, during operation, zones that have different voltage distributions, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of areas, and wherein at least one area comprises the at least one insulation shield, wherein those areas which distance to a zone of the electric system which voltage distribution exceeds a first voltage threshold is below a minimum distance comprise at least one insulation shield.

Power supply unit, in particular for a sterilization device, comprising at least one electric component, wherein, at least one of the electric components is at least partly covered with a solid insulation layer, wherein the solid insulation layer is adapted to provide an electric insulation.

A bearing comprising a static component, a liner, a wear indicating sensor and a movable conductive component that will wear the liner, a) where the wear indicating sensor is first affixed to the static component, and said sensor is comprised of a first insulating layer in contact with the static component and a second conductive layer, configured such that the metallic layer and the static component are not in electrical contact, and b) where the liner is positioned between sensor and the moving component, where the liner comprises an insulating layer and a conductive layer, configured such that the insulating layer faces the moving metallic component, and the conductive layer faces the sensor, such that the conductive layer is in electrical contact with the conductive layer of the sensor.

An apparatus for energizing a large scale medical imaging system, preferably in the form of a CT scanner so that the scanner operates off an uninterruptable power supply in the event that the external power falls below sufficient power to operate the system so that system operation remains uninterruptable. The system is designed to operate off a broad range and types of external power supplies including those providing DC, single or three phase AC power. The system therefore can operate from a common single phase AC outlet. In addition, power factor correction is provided so that the system can correct for phase differences between the voltage and current at the input line created by the input impedance of the system.
