kV risetime is typically 1.5 ms in any load condition
Non invasive kV check
kV measurement with non-invasive instruments is affected by beam filtration and MUST be done
exclusively with MOLYBDENUM filter and without compression plate between x-ray source and kVp
meter.
kVp meter calibration factors, non linearity and filter thickness must be taken into consideration to
correct measured values.
kV check at TP1/TP2 PCB 94-132
H.V. generator has voltage divider on which kV check can be done by means of normal DVM with
1000 Vdc full scale or oscilloscope with probe able to withstand a minimum of 500 Vdc.
Connect DVM or oscilloscope to TP1/TP2 (GND) of PCB 94-132.
In the table below kV vs. VTP1 are given.
