Abstract
In a high-voltage generator with an X-ray tube having a metallic middle part, unfavorable effects due to a part of the current flowing off via the grounded metallic middle part is avoided by the overall voltage across the X-ray tube being produced by one inverter and the cathode voltage of the X-ray tube is generated by another inverter, each having a high-voltage rectifier connected thereto. The respective voltages are regulated by controlling the respective inverters.
