PCDU-125CT Power Conditioner for the Toshiba Aquilion System

Power Quality for Peak Performance
Today's high-performance, high-technology imaging systems are optimized to boost productivity. In modern diagnostic environments, a premium is placed on uptime. What is sometimes forgotten, however, is the power source that enables that uptime and makes those systems run.

Inconsistent power delivery can seriously impact productivity. To alleviate the potential for costly power disturbances, Toshiba offers a full family of Power Conditioning Distribution Units (PCDUs) - self-contained units that provide cost-effective, versatile voltage conversion, surge suppression, impedance control, and system-wide power distribution.

The Toshiba Power Quality Solution
The Toshiba PCDU utilizes a shielded isolation transformer coupled with patented filtration circuitry and MOV surge suppression technology to ensure that fluctuations in your institutions power will not adversely affect your Toshiba diagnostic imaging system. It is not a voltage regulator. In most cases, the electrical utilities will guarantee a voltage within ±10% of nominal, thus meeting the Toshiba requirements and making a voltage regulator unnecessary. What the Toshiba PCDU does provide includes:

• A new single point ground derived from the isolation transformer (the only NEC compliant method of establishing a new, clean ground source for the room).
• Transient suppression, eliminating the possibility of equipment damage.
• A single box, small footprint design.
• A single input source is required, which may reduce the cost of electrical site preparation dramatically.
• UL listed product for guaranteed safety, quality and ease of electrical inspection.
• Voltage conversion and distribution to eliminate the need for multiple voltage feeds into the same room
• Toshiba-specific design with guaranteed performance and compatibility.
