Eaton HC150SL – 150W Medical Mobile Power Inverter/Charger

Product Overview

The Eaton HC150SL is a 150W, 120V medical-grade mobile power inverter/charger built to bring IEC 60601-1 compliant power to mobile medical carts used both inside and outside patient care areas. It integrates an isolation transformer, smart three-stage charging and a compact steel housing so hospital IT and biomedical engineering teams can add compliant, filtered power to computers-on-wheels and similar carts. Facilities standardizing mobile medical equipment power specify the HC150SL for its combination of IEC 60601-1 compliance, EMI/RFI filtering and compatibility with both SLA and LiFePhos batteries.

Product Description

The HC150SL is a cost-effective hospital-cart power inverter/charger designed to integrate into existing mobile medical equipment systems, providing safe, compliant power to devices used both inside and outside patient care areas. An isolation transformer reduces the cumulative shock potential of connected equipment, helping ensure IEC 60601-1 compliance for use throughout every sector of a healthcare facility, including patient care areas. The unit is compatible with both sealed lead acid (SLA) and Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePhos) batteries, letting facilities choose the battery technology that best fits their maintenance and runtime needs, and it also meets NFPA, NEC and JCAHO standards in addition to IEC 60601-1. An advanced three-stage charging system recharges batteries faster and more safely than conventional chargers, while an internal automatic transfer switch (ATS) allows the module to power connected equipment and recharge the battery at the same time. In standard configuration the HC150SL can provide multiple hours of AC power, though actual runtime varies with battery condition and connected load. The unit also combats electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), common sources of performance problems and hardware or data issues in medical facilities where numerous electromagnetic and radio sources are present. Cart and fleet management is simplified through the HC150SL's design, which lets staff track usage data at a glance, and Tripp Lite's free downloadable PowerAlert software automatically helps save patient data from loss or corruption if a cart is left unattended and battery power is depleted. A USB communication port connects the module to a cart-mounted thin client or laptop, and an optional remote user interface (RUI, sold separately) displays output and battery status with on/off and alarm-mute switches. The compact steel housing includes the USB communication port and a single C13 AC outlet on a six-inch dongle for connecting a device's power cord, and it is built to endure the demanding conditions of severe medical environments where reliable power is essential.
