Q: What is the primary function of an equipotential grounding system in a maternity ward?

To equalize electrical potential and minimize shock hazard. — Equipotential grounding ensures all conductive surfaces are at the same potential, preventing dangerous voltage differences.

Q: Which type of electrical outlet is typically used for critical care equipment in maternity wards to ensure patient safety?

Hospital-grade outlets with isolated ground. — Hospital-grade outlets with isolated ground provide enhanced safety and reduce the risk of electrical hazards.

Q: What is the purpose of an isolated power system (IPS) in an operating room of a maternity ward for C-sections?

To reduce the risk of electric shock and prevent interruptions in power to critical equipment. — IPS isolates the equipment from ground, limiting current flow in case of a fault and minimizing shock risk.

Q: In a maternity ward, where should emergency power outlets be located?

In every patient room, operating room, and other critical areas. — Emergency power is vital for life-support and monitoring equipment during power failures in critical patient areas.

Q: What is the main function of the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in a maternity ward bathroom?

To detect and quickly interrupt current flow to prevent electric shock from ground faults. — GFCI's quickly interrupt power in case of a ground fault, protecting patients and staff from electric shock.
