High frequency power supplies Modern High Voltage supplies use a high high frequency chopped DC voltage (500V) which is transformed to a high voltage (74kV) The 500V DC signal is chopped at between 20kHz and 30 kHz and transformed using a step up transformer to 74kV. The smoothed supply may have a ripple of below 3%
A Typical Frequency Generator : HSA RP • Kilovolts • ·kV selections: 80,1 00,120, and 140 kV • ·Basic kVp Accuracy: + 3% +/- (3% + 2kV) • Excludes first 10msec of exposure • ·kVp during first 10 ms: Basic accuracy +/- 5 kV • Milliamperes • ·mA selections: 40 to 400 mA, by 10 mA increments • Patient scanning subject to tube limitations and 48kW maximum
