Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, with a high voltage rectifier, two individual capacitors connected in series across the rectifier output, and radiation shielding surrounding the x-ray tube, the radiation shielding is connected with the connection line of the two individual capacitors in an electrically ungrounded fashion and the cathode of the x-ray tube is connected to ground.
Claims1
An x-ray diagnostic generator comprising a high voltage rectifier, high voltage capacitor means connected to the rectifier output, and radiation shielding surrounding the x-ray tube, said high voltage capacitor means comprising two individual capacitors (6, 7) having a connection line connecting said capacitors in series relative to one another, the radiation shielding (10) being connected with the connection line connecting the two individual capacitors (6, 7), in an electrically ungrounded fashion, and the cathode (9) of the x-ray tube (8) being connected to ground.
