Electrical Requirements

NOTE: GE requires a dedicated power and ground for the proper operation of its Ultrasound
equipment. This dedicated power shall originate at the last distribution panel before the
Ultrasound system.
Sites with a mains power system with defined Neutral and Live:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase, a neutral (not shared with any other circuit), and a full
size Ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
Sites with a mains power system without a defined Neutral:
The dedicated line shall consist of one phase (two lines), not shared with any other circuit, and a full
size Ground wire from the distribution panel to the Ultrasound outlet.
NOTE: Please note that image artifacts can occur, if at any time within the facility, the Ground from the
main facility's incoming power source to the Ultrasound unit is only a conduit.

Electrical specifications for the Venue™ system are as follows:
Table 2-3
Input Voltage
100V AC to 240V AC
2-2-5-2 Inrush Current
Inrush current is not a factor for consideration, due to the inrush current limiting properties of the power
supplies.
Voltage
100 V
240 V
2-2-5-3 Site Power Outlets
A dedicated AC power outlet must be within reach of the unit without requiring the use of extension
cords. Other outlets adequate for the external peripherals, medical and test equipment required to
support this unit must also be present and located within 1 m (3.2 ft) of the unit. Electrical installation
must meet all current local, state, and national electrical codes.

The Venue™ portable ultrasound scanner is supplied with an AC power cable, as standard. In the event
that the unit arrives without a power cable, or a power cable fitted with an incorrect plug, contact your
GE dealer. When necessary, the installation engineer will supply the appropriate power plug to meet
the applicable local regulations.
