Abstract
A half-wave rectifier is connected between the cathode-side end of the secondary winding of the high voltage transformer and the x-ray tube anode. Between the anode and the anode-side end of the high voltage secondary winding, a high voltage capacitor is connected, which is capable of storing a portion of the energy necessary in order to feed the x-ray tube during one mains half wave. The rectifier is polarized such that the capacitor is charged during those particular secondary half waves in which current does not flow through the x-ray tube.
