Abstract

The    paper    has    the    main    aim    of demonstrating  a  possible  use  ofthe  well  consolidated monitoring    SFRA (Sweep    Frequency    Response Analysis)technique    for    preventive    maintenance procedure  applied  to  isolation  medical  transformers operating in hospitals’ group 2  medical  locations.  In particular,    a    novel    testing    platform    has    been implemented that can perform the monitoring test on IT-M  during  normal  periodical  verification  provided  by specific standard.In the paper, some results of the practical application of such  a  platform  to  several  transformers  in  currently  in operation in various Italian hospitals have been reported.
