MAGNUM C HF X-RAY GENERATOR
1
Power Supply
Power supply unit:
• An electrical device that supplies electric power to an
electrical load. It can be AC, DC, Single phase or 3
phase power
Single phase power supply:
• A single wire delivering current to load & a single
neutral wire caring current back to the source.
Three phase power source:
• A three wire ac power circuit with each phase 120
electrical degrees apart.

Distribution Transformer
∆-Y Connection:
Note:
Line voltage is the potential difference between
two phases
Phase voltage is the potential difference

UPS
Offline/Standby UPS:
• The most basic model designed for use in small,
non critical applications that require protection
against momentary power lose.

MAGNUM C HF Generator
• MAGNUM C® is a 100 kHz high frequency x-ray
generator
• This x-ray generator can add a digital interface
for digital radiography equipment
• It consists main power cabinet and membrane
control console with digital interface
• The control console allows the operator to select
the technique factors, image receptors & to
initiate an x-ray exposure

Beam Limiting Device:
Halogen Lamp:
A light source for collimation
(Usually 24V, 150Watt)
Mirror:
A reflecting mirror is used to keep
the lamp out of the x ray path & to
have concentrated/focused light
Lead Shutters:
Used to control the area of light
field

X-Ray Exposure Factors:
• Kilovolt (kv) 40 – 150kv
• Milliamperage (mA) 25-500 mA
• Exposure time (ms) 40 – 800 ms
• Source to image distance (SID)
Note:
KVp will control the penetrating power/energy of the x ray
beam
mAs will control the number of x rays & increase image
