2.1 Overview
This document gives information about the electrical supplies necessary for the Elekta oncology
system. These are:
• Power supplies
• Interlock supplies
• Cable information

The location of the CITB must be in compliance with the laws and regulations of the region. The
location must also be above a duct that goes to the RIC.

Figure 2.3 Suggested layout of electrical items in the equipment room (elevation view)
Voltage variation ±6% including when switching from no-load to 60 A per phase full load condition. If
variations are expected to exceed this level, a voltage stabilizer must be used.
Nominal frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz
Supply source Direct from client mains supply. An isolation transformer is not normally required.
Safety A residual current detector must be placed in the three- phase supply line (as required
by local codes)
Earth leakage breaker The breaker must be a 30 mA residual current device for personal safety, with a load
current of at least 45 A, Class D, IEC 898 standard.
A suitable version can be supplied by Elekta on request (as required by local codes).
2.4.4 Responsibilities of the client for the vacuum system supply cables
Cabling from the vacuum system isolator to the interface cabinet must be supplied and fitted by the
client.
The cable must be three core, comprising one-phase, neutral and earth wires.
The following equation can be used to work out the actual power used by the kV generator:
Actual power = Nominal power × Power factor
For example: 40 kVa x 0.8 = 32 kW
Note: When ordering a voltage stabilizer, state the absolute maximum and minimum supply voltage.
The voltage stabilizer must be grounded to the connection that gives the lowest earth impedance.
This can be the host digital accelerator or the earth reference terminal.
Power required 25 W
Supply configuration Single-phase, neutral and earth
Nominal voltage 230V
Nominal frequency 50/60 Hz
Mains resistance Not applicable
Fuse rating 3A
Current 0.08 A
Cabling from the water cooler to the three-phase isolator must be supplied and installed by the
client.

Figure 3.1 Suggested layout of interlock items in the treatment suite (plan view)
Mains interlock
If the electrical mains supply to the client interface fails, the digital accelerator is inhibited. The
mains supply is wired to contacts 5, 6 and 7 of the client interface PCB and must be connected to the
same phase as that used for the radiation warning lights.
Note: The contact rating of the contacts for all the warning lights, and room (laser) lighting is 230 Vac at 10 A
resistive load or 6 A inductive load.
HexaPOD™ evo
For systems with HexaPOD™ evo, the HexaPOD™ evo interlock is connected into Room Door 3.
LK10 must be removed.
MOSAIQ®/SYNERGISTIQ™
For systems with MOSAIQ®/SYNERGISTIQ™, the MOSAIQ®/SYNERGISTIQ™ radiation interlock is
connected into EXTERNAL TERMINATE. LK1 must be removed.
Note: If a neutron door is fitted in the maze, an additional interlock switch must be fitted to this door and
connected to the client interface PCB at Neutron Door. This interlock is used to check that the neutron
door is in the correct position for the prescribed treatment.
Note: In some regions, time delay interlocks are a mandatory legal requirement.
Note: The Search (timer set) and Confirmation buttons must be momentary-action devices.
TDR1 on the client interface PCB can be adjusted to change the time delay. TDR1 is preset to
30 seconds but can be adjusted between 0 seconds and 60 seconds to give personnel sufficient time
to leave the treatment room. This must be set to enable the user to make the Room Door 1 interlock
circuit as described in Table 3.3.
A physical link can be added between terminals 9 and 11 on the client interface PCB if this function
is used.
WARNING 3.1
If this interlock circuit is connected incorrectly, it can allow the gantry to be
rotated by automatic set up (ASU) when the fascia doors are open. If you
ignore this warning, it can cause fatal injury.
If the doors to the equipment room are to be configured differently, local procedures must prevent
against possible accidents.
Note: If self closing doors must be installed to satisfy local rules, a time delay interlock system must be
installed.
Note: Some local rules require that the RADIATION ON warning must flash. In this event, it is the
responsibility of the client to supply the flashing system.
Note: If the bulbs are to be rated at a voltage other than that of the mains, then the client must install a
suitable supply.
