Medical Grade Systems
UL 60601-1 caps leakage at 100µA normal, 10µA at the patient — thresholds no standard UPS meets. Built from the ground up with isolation transformers, Faraday shields, hospital-grade connectors, and OSHPD/HCAI seismic preapproval. Protecting patient monitors to $3M MRI scanners.

Overview
True medical grade, not a standard UPS with a green plug
UL 60601-1 compliance requires engineered isolation transformers with Faraday shields, verified leakage current at every output, medical EMC testing, and risk management documentation per IEC 14971. Online Power builds all of this in because bolting a hospital grade plug onto a commercial UPS does not make it safe for patient vicinity use.
Protects the imaging equipment that protects your patients
CT scanners, MRIs, and linear accelerators represent capital investments from $500,000 to $3,000,000 that demand voltage stability within 1 to 3 percent. The Phase Stabilizer independently corrects each phase with sub-cycle response time, eliminating image artifacts, scan interruptions, and the chronic voltage stress that shortens equipment life.
OSHPD/HCAI seismic preapproval eliminates your biggest permitting delay
Without OSHPD OSP preapproval, every power system in a California acute care hospital project requires individual seismic certification adding weeks to permitting and tens of thousands in testing costs. Online Power's seismic rated systems are shake-table tested and preapproved, streamlining your OSHPD 1 project from day one.
What your spec sheet won't tell you
NEC 517.16 prohibits isolated ground receptacles within the patient care vicinity defined as 6 feet around and 7.5 feet above the patient bed. This surprises many engineers. Instead NEC 517.13 requires redundant equipment grounding using two separate paths: metallic raceway plus an insulated copper equipment grounding conductor, with equipotential grounding buses of normal and essential panels connected by at least 6 AWG insulated copper. Line Isolation Monitors in wet procedure locations alarm at 5 milliamps total hazard current but do not interrupt power. This is by design because tripping a circuit during open heart surgery is more dangerous than the leakage current itself. Only 45 percent of California hospitals are currently on track for the 2030 SB 1953 seismic compliance deadline, creating urgent demand for OSHPD preapproved power equipment.
