Never plug the mass spectrometer and the chromatograph into the same power source; 

otherwise, you may overload the power source. Never use the free outlet on any of the power 

sources for equipment drawing more than 2A. 
The quality of the power supplied to your LC/MS or GC/MS is very important. The power must 

be 100-130 Vac, 60 Hz 

±

3 Hz (200-260 Vac, 50 Hz 

±

3 Hz outside North America), and 200-240 

Vac, 60 Hz 

±

3 Hz for LC/MS (50 Hz 

±

3 Hz for outside North America), and it must be stable, 

i.e., it must be free of fluctuations due to slow changes in the average voltage or to changes 

resulting from surges, sags, or transients. 

  Slow average changes are gradual, long-term changes in the average root mean 

square (RMS) voltage level, with typical durations greater than 2 seconds. 

  Sags and surges are sudden changes in average RMS voltage level, with typical 

durations between 50 µsec and 2 seconds. 

  Transients (or impulses) are brief voltage excursions of up to several thousand volts 

with durations of less than 50 µsec.
