Case Study: a major health care center reduces Xray equipment damage with Dranetz power monitoring

a major health care center prevents $100,000 Xray damage with Dranetz

A major health care center faced severe power quality issues that damaged its X-ray equipment, with one failure costing $100,000. The problem was identified by On Power using a Dranetz 658 Analyzer, which captured out-of-phase transfers occurring during switches between utility and generator power.

The solution, implemented by On Power using an AIM Filter, involved compensating for the X-ray's demanding current surges and harmonic distortion. This approach protected the sensitive equipment, reduced stress on the UPS system, and improved power quality. Dranetz power monitoring technology was key to both diagnosing the problem and enabling a successful, permanent solution.
