Applies to capacitor discharge X-ray generators operating in intermittent mode for medical radiography, in which the electrical energy for loading of the X-ray tube is completely or mainly capacitively stored at, and switched in, the high voltage circuit. This Standard is to be read in conjunction with AS 3200.1.0-1990. It is identical with and reproduced from IEC 601-2-15:1988.

Scope

Addition:

This Particular Standard applies to CAPACITOR DISCHARGE X-RAY GENERATORS operating in INTERMITTENT MODE for medical RADIOGRAPHY, in which the electrical energy for LOADING of the X-RAY TUBE is completely or mainly capacitively stored at, and switched in, the high-voltage circuit.

This Particular Standard is confined to those devices which are MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT and in which
– the storage capacitor is in the high-voltage circuit and has a specified capacitance not exceeding 2 mF,
– the INITIAL X-RAY TUBE VOLTAGE is between 40 kV and 150 kV,
– an overcurrent protection, if provided, would not require a rating exceeding that which corresponds to an apparent power of 3 kVA,
– LOADING of the X-RAY TUBE is controlled in the high-voltage circuit.

This Particular Standard does not exclude CAPACITOR DISCHARGE X-RAY GENERATORS that are capable
of operation in CONTINUOUS MODE for DIRECT RADIOSCOPY or INDIRECT RADIOSCOPY. However, for this
mode of operation the device will have to comply with the relevant requirements for diagnostic HIGH-VOLTAGE GENERATORS and diagnostic X-RAY EQUIPMENT (see Sub-clause 1.3.102).
