Notebook 8

The document discusses different types of x-ray machine power supplies: Single phase is the least efficient with 100% power loss and 60 pulses per second. Full wave rectification is more efficient at 100% power loss and uses both halves of the AC cycle for 120 pulses per second. Three phase 6-pulse has 4% power loss and 87-90% of x-rays at peak voltage, while three phase 12-pulse has <1% power loss and 96.5-100% of x-rays at peak voltage. High frequency supplies have <1% power loss, 1000 pulses per second using AC and DC, and are more efficient, less costly and smaller than 60 Hz generators.

Half WaVe:

Least efficient with 100%o power loss/ripple. X-ray output is


pulsating at 60 x-ray pulses/second. The downsides are it wastes half the power
supply and requires twice the exposure time of full wave rectification.

FUll WaVl

input enerry more efficientlywith 10070 power loss/ripple.


Uses the full AC rycle with a minimum of 4 rectifiers placed into the circuit. The 1$
part uses the positive part of AC cycle and 2"d pair uses the negative part of AC
rycle. It flips the negative half to the positive side. It sends an entire electric
wave/current through the x-ray tube. Exposure time is halved with 120 pulses/sec.
7/3 of beam is not useful.

<Lo/opower loss/ripple with 1000 pulses/second, Creates a pulsed DC currentwith slight
power. Advantages are t}tat it is more efficient than 60 Hz generators, it is less costly, and
smaller.
