The HERC line meets the medical requirements of IEC60601-1 and can be used worldwide at heights of up to 5000 m. With the protection 2 x MOPP, the insulation of the units is designed for both patient and user safety. The minimum leakage current of < 100 μA (for individual product lines even < 10 μA) allows manufacturers to design medical devices with a patient interface, an applied part of class BF or CF.

In compliance with the new Hazard Base Standard IEC 62368-1, the HERC units also come highly recommended for use in the industry, information technology and audio/video.

In terms of EMC, the new HERC series meets the 4th edition of the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for medical devices, both for professional and domestic use. Furthermore, the requirements for a device of protection class II without functional earth are met, which in turn allows the devices to be used also in domestic areas according to IEC 60601-1-11. With regard to the permissible limit values for harmonic currents of IEC 61000-3-2, units of power ratings > 75 W are equipped with an active PFC
