Abstract
An arbitrary voltage distribution can be achieved in a high-voltage generator which supplied an X-ray tube having a metallic central part, wherein the anode voltage and the cathode voltage are generated in the high-voltage generator by two series-connected high-voltage rectifiers with respective preceding high-voltage transformers, whereby the high-voltage transformers being supplied by an inverse rectifier. A clocked switch, via which the average value of the anode current can be set and matched to the cathode current, lies in the lead to the high-voltage transformer at the anode side.
