Abstract
The invention relates to a high-voltage generator which is proportioned so as to realize a particularly low weight in combination with a high output power and is suitable notably for use in rotating X-ray systems such as computed tomography apparatus. To this end, the high-voltage generator is provided with a hybrid insulation which is formed as far as possible by a high resistance foam ( to ) and an insulating liquid ( ). The foam is shaped and arranged in such a manner that there are formed channels ( to ) wherethrough the insulating liquid ( ) can flow in areas requiring a discharge of heat or an electric strength stronger than can be endured by the high- resistance foam alone.
