OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SQUARE WAVE INVERTER X-RAY GENERATOR BY THE MODEL CIRCUIT

Abstract

Inveter X-ray generators are now becoming increasingly popular, because they such advantages as control of the high accuracy and miniaturization of high voltage transformer when compared with the usual singlephase and three-phase X-ray generators. However, it is difficult to understand the characteristics of the basic performance of this type, the primary circuit component is complicated compared with the usual X-ray generators. Also it is very difficult to obtain inverter X-ray generators quickly for teaching institutions. Therefore, we tried to make a model circuit for the square wave inverter X-ray generator, so as to perform an analysis of the basic performance of the circuit composition from the power supply to the X-ray tube. As the result, we could observe waveforms of each of the component circuits using this model circuit, and making it easier to understand the characteristics of the basic performance of this type. In the present report, we made clear the relation between load, circuit constant and output waveform by the simulation method, and studied the improvement method of performance characteristics of this type.
