FILAMENT POWER PWB
The power for the X-ray tube is provided by the
filament inverter. The filament inverter is a high
frequency, series resonant inverter. The inverter
provides regulated current to the primary of the
filament isolation transformer. The filament
isolation transformer secondary is connected to
the output connector. For the DC filament option,
the transformer secondary is connected to a full
wave rectifier and then to the output connector.
