2 Standby Current: This is the current that the generator draws when it is “idle”, i.e. with the
generator switched on and the filaments at standby level.
External or installer-supplied equipment connected to the generator may
increase the standby current beyond the values shown.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING TABLE CONTAINS RECOMMENDED VALUES FOR THE WIRE SIZES
BETWEEN THE MAINS DISCONNECT AND THE GENERATOR. THE ACTUAL VALUES
USED AT AN INSTALLATION ARE DEPENDENT ON THE QUALITY OF THE INPUT LINE
(VOLTAGE LEVEL), THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS, THE LENGTH OF THE CABLE RUN,
AND MUST BE CONFIRMED BY THE INSTALLER.
FINAL SELECTION OF GENERATOR INPUT WIRE AND DISCONNECTS, AS WELL AS THE
CABLING FROM THE DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER TO THE MAINS DISCONNECT MUST
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES AND IS USUALLY
DETERMINED BY HOSPITAL / CONTRACTOR ENGINEERING.
ALL LISTED RATINGS CONSIDER THE GENERATOR REQUIREMENTS ONLY. THE
INSTALLER MUST MAKE THE NECESSARY COMPENSATION FOR ADDITIONAL LOADS.
A POOR QUALITY INPUT LINE MAY RESULT IN THE INSTALLER HAVING TO
DERATE THE GENERATOR'S MAXIMUM POWER

342 VAC de-rate the maximum output power of the generator to 40 kW.
1C.2.7 Service Disconnect (All Models)

Refer to the previous table for the recommended service disconnect ratings for the Indico IQ® series of X-
ray generators.

1C.3.0 GROUND REQUIREMENTS

POWER LINE:
 A suitable ground must be connected from the main disconnect switch to the main ground connection
on the generator, located below the input distribution board. The ground wire is typically part of the
line cord, and the current capacity of the ground conductor must be equal to or greater than that of
the line conductors.
 If a neutral line is provided with the system, under no circumstances is it to be used for ground
purposes. The ground conductor only may carry fault currents.

X-RAY TUBE HOUSING:

 A copper ground cable, #10 AWG (6 mm2) or greater, is to be connected from each X-ray tube’s
housing to the HV module’s ground stud located at the top of the HV module.

X-ray Stator Drive Cable Requirements

The X-ray stator cable used with the low speed starter 2/dual speed starter 2 assembly must meet the
following requirements:
 The cable must be shielded and the shield ground must be connected to the generator
chassis ground and to the tube housing ground.

Note: For the Metal Center X-ray tube: connect the metal center section lead to one of
the ground studs on the HVM.
 The cable must be rated to at least 600 VAC.
 The maximum total cable capacitance (from the inner conductors shorted together to the
cable shield) must be less than 5.1 nF. For example, a cable type 8618 made by Belden has
a capacitance of 4.1 nF for 26 meters.
Note: Stator cable capacitance must not exceed 5.1nF. If longer cables are needed,
then a cable with lower capacitance per unit length must be used.

1C.5.0 LOCATING THE GENERATOR CABINET AND CONTROL CONSOLE

WARNING: ENSURE THAT NO EQUIPMENT, BOXES, TOOLS, LIQUIDS OR ITEMS ARE PLACED ON TOP
OF THE GENERATOR CABINET, AND THAT THE GENERATOR CABINET IS NOT
SUBJECTED TO EXTERNAL FORCE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

The generator cabinet is self-standing and does not need to be supported. However, the installation
should meet the following requirements:
 The floor should be flat and level. Leveling feet are available as an option.
 The generator installation area must be dry, clean and free of dirt or debris. Precautions should also
be taken such that there is no chance that water or any type of liquid enters the generator or control
console, before, during and after installation, and within the entire generator's or control console's
service life.
 Mounting holes have been provided in the base of the generator to secure the generator to the floor,
if required. Alternately, the generator may be anchored to the floor via installer supplied hold-down
brackets. Refer to Seismic Centers and mounting hole locations for further details.
 Sufficient room must be provided to allow access to the generator for installation.. A minimum of 42
inches (1.07 m) clearance is recommended on any side for which service access may be required
during installation. This is to minimize the risk of accidentally contacting high voltage during service
and maintenance.
 A minimum of 3 inches (76 mm) of clearance is required between the back of the generator and any
wall behind the generator. Areas around the generator vents must be unobstructed to prevent
overheating.
Cable conduits, troughs or raceways should be provided to route cables from the generator cabinet to
the console and to the room equipment if required. These should be large enough to allow the cables
to be routed without risk of damage.
 The control console is normally free standing on a desk or shelf and the vents on the control console
must be unobstructed. It may be anchored if necessary and should be installed in a stable, flat, non-
slippery surface. An optional floor stand is available for the R&F membrane console, and an optional
wall mount kit is also available for the 15.6” and 19" StarQ™ touchscreen consoles.
 The control console user should consider ergonomics. This manual does not provide ergonomics
information but appropriate materials should be consulted, as it applies to specific work area
regulations and requirements.
