X Ray Power Supply Circuit

This tutorials series is split into 4 parts and provides details hints and tips which are useful even to the most veteran power supply designers.

X ray power supply circuit. A detailed look at my high voltage x ray transformer. Ivec 2020 international vacuum electronics conference ieee oct 26 29 monterrey ca ieee power electronics show li show nov 5 hauppauge ny. Explore custom products see us at. This series of tutorials explains in depth power supply design steps for the buck and the boost topology dc dc switching regulators supplemented by dedicated sessions on pcb layout and signal edge control for emi that apply to all switching regulators.

The filament circuit is the subcircuit of the main x ray circuit shown as the lower portion of fig. Device used to end the exposure at an accurately measured preset time. Providing customized high voltage power supply conversion x ray generator and x ray source solutions. A remote control device that permits current to flow through the circuit.

Mains electricity is 240v and has to be modified to produce a high voltage across the x ray tube head and low voltage to heat the filament. That is the filament power supply controls and regulates the current through the. 6 2 b this circuit is divided into two parts by the step down transformer 11 and 12 the primary purpose of the filament circuit is to supply a low current to heat the x ray tube filament for thermionic emission of electrons. The three main parts to an x ray generator setup are an x ray tube a high voltage power supply and a control unit.

Virtually all the filament power supplies spellman uses in their x ray generators and monoblock x ray sources are current sources not voltage sources. X ray circuits main circuit 1. The first set of diodes actually go to ground they. Primary circuit control panel main switch.

Secondary circuit high voltage transformers rectification x ray tube. The x ray generator provides three things that are required to produce x rays and they are a source of electrons a means of acceleration and a target for interaction. The benefit of using a current source to power x ray tube filament circuits an 12 x ray power source. It is expanded in fig.

I took some time out to look at the circuit and came up with a quick schematic. Our x ray power supplies support proper specification and integration of the source and detector which enables high power quality and reliability.
