Hello,
I am dealing with a situation where a medical Ultrasound system is displaying RFI noise in one room, but no noise when it is moved to a room 100 feet away. Measuring the Neutral to ground with the system on, drawing 14 amps on a 20 amp line, we get 2 VAC. Our manufacturer stated they would like to see that level be .25 VAC, and that the problem comes from using too small of a guage wire, for the distance between the sub-panel and the system. Is there a table containing showing the guage wire, current, and the max run length?
I will check this in the morning,
Thanks for your help.
P.S. I am an Ultrasound repair person, not an Electrical Engineer, so I am not familure with the electrical codes.
