Abstract
An X-ray generator with current measuring device has an X-ray tube, a power supply unit for feeding high voltage to the X-ray tube, a high voltage cable for connecting the X-ray tube and power supply unit. The high voltage cable is comprised of a core conductor, an insulating layer surrounding the core conductor and a covered shield surrounding the insulating layer and the covered shield is disconnected near one end of the cable connected to the X-ray tube so as to be divided into a major shield portion adjacent to the power supply unit and a minor shield portion adjacent to the X-ray tube. An insulating member is provided for electrically insulating the major and minor shield portions, and a magnetic sensor sensitive to a magnetic field generated by a current flowing through the high voltage cable is positioned around the minor shield portion. The X-ray generator can measure the X-ray tube current accurately and readily under electrical insulation.
