X-Ray Apparatus Transformer

X-ray apparatus transformers are electrical devices used in X-ray machines to convert the incoming electrical voltage to the high voltage required for generating X-rays. These transformers typically consist of a primary winding, which is connected to the power source, and a secondary winding, which is connected to the X-ray tube.

The primary winding of the transformer is designed to handle the standard voltage supplied by the power source, typically around 120 or 240 volts. The secondary winding, on the other hand, is designed to produce a much higher voltage, typically in the range of 50,000 to 150,000 volts, depending on the specific application.

The high voltage produced by the X-ray apparatus transformer is necessary to accelerate the electrons within the X-ray tube, which in turn generates X-rays when the electrons collide with a target material. This high voltage is achieved through the process of electromagnetic induction, where the changing magnetic field created by the primary winding induces a voltage in the secondary winding.

X-ray apparatus transformers are typically designed to be compact and efficient, with various safety features to ensure the proper functioning of the X-ray machine. These transformers are an essential component of X-ray machines, enabling the production of high-quality diagnostic images for medical, dental, and industrial applications.
