HIGH VOLTAGE
GENERATOR
— One of the three main components of an x-ray
imaging system.

— responsible for increasing the output voltage from


the autotransformer to the kVp necessary for x-ray
production.

HIGH-VOLTAGE
GENERATOR 3 PRIMARY
PARTS:
1. High-voltage transformer
2. Filament transformer
3. Rectifiers

High-voltage Filament transformer
transformer — Connected to the cathode
— isolate equipment and assembly. Increase the heating
high-power circuits to current applied to the filament of
ensure safety. cathode for thermionic emission.
Rectifiers
— Convert the Alternating
current ( AC ) in Direct
current ( DC ).

VOLTAGE RECTIFICATION
The current from common wall plug is 60 Hz alternating
current ( AC). The current changes direction 120 times per
second. It also conversion of AC into DC.

SINGLE-PHASE POWER
Results in a pulsating x-ray beam. This is caused by the
alternate swing in voltage from zero to maximum potential 120
times each second under full-wave rectification.
6
THREE-PHASE POWER
Involves the manner in which the high voltage step-up
transformer is wired into the circuit. By this, multiple
voltage superimposed into another.

HIGH FREQUENCY GENERATOR


Produce constant potential voltage waveform and
improving image quality.

CAPACITOR DISCHARGE GENERATOR


During capacitor discharge, the voltage falls
approximately 1 kV/mAs. 7
FALLING LOAD GENERATOR
Produce x-ray in a short period of time.

VOLTAGE RIPPLE
Another way to characterize these voltage waveform is
by voltage ripple. It varies from zero to it's maximum
value.

POWER RATING
Transformers and high voltage generators usually are
identified by their power rating in kilowatts ( kW ).
7
AUTOTRANSFORMER
Adjustment of kVp
kVp determine the
quality of the x-ray
beam.
Control of mA
The x-ray tube current,
crossing from cathode to
anode is measured with
this. 9
