Good day,
I stuck with multiple socket-outlets. There is a medical supply unit with multiple socket-outlets (MSO). These socket outlets are Type F of domestic AC socket outlets (usualy used in Europe) which can accept mains plugs. According to EN 60601 3.1 edition 16.9.2.1a) cl. mutliple socket outlet:
Only allow connection by using a tool, or
Be of a type that cannot accept mains plugs of any of the kinds specified in IEC/TR 60083, or
Be supplied via a separating transformer.
None of these requirements are complied. There is no separating transformer or connection by using a tool.
Although, I have found the same connections of MSO in two different manufacturers. Here is the schematic diagram:
Is such connection considered as MSO, or is everything OK here?
