Patients and hospital staff must be protected from the risk of electric shock all times.
In accordance with the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018 and the Health Technical Memorandum HTM06 01:2017, all Group 1 and 2 Medical locations are to have an Earth Bonding Bar (EBB).
The purpose of an EBB is to earth all extraneous conductive metal work and the earth pin of sockets either within or in reach of equipment that is moved into the patient environment to the same potential, reducing the possibility of potential differences that would cause current flow across a patient. EBBs are installed within the hospital’s building infrastructure near the medical location which it serves.
This Type 4 EBB is designed for smaller Group 1 Medical Locations such as single bedrooms due to its smaller dimensions. The Type 4 EBB has four terminals to allow connection of three outgoing earths.
