Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, two inverters of which each exhibits a switching installation controlled by a control circuit for the alternate connection of two output lines with the power rectifier. The control signals supplied to the inverters by the control circuit are out of phase with one another, so that the x-ray tube voltage possesses a low ripple component.
Claims3
An x-ray diagnostic generator with an x-ray tube, high voltage transformer means feeding the x-ray tube, an inverter circuit connected to the input of the high voltage transformer means, and a power rectifier feeding the inverter, characterized in that the inverter circuit comprises two inverters (4 and 5) of which each has pulsing means (6, 7, 6a, and 7a) controlled for the alternate connection of the transformer means to the power rectifier (2), and in that the control signals supplied to the inverters (4 and 5) are out of phase with one another, said transformer means comprising two high voltage transformers (10 and 10a), whose secondary windings (11, 12, 11a, and 12a) are each connected with one high voltage rectifier (13, 13a, 15, 17, 19, 21, 24, and 26), and whose primary windings (8, 9, 8a, 9a) are each connected to one inverter output (4a, 4b, 5a, and 5b).
