Q

U.S. Electricity is supplied by

A

60 Hz AC

Nominal rms voltage 200v-240v

16
Q

Single-phase allows what?

A

Allows potential difference to drop to 0

17
Q

What type of power is usually used for X-rays?

A

3-phase power

18
Q

Why is 3-phase better than single-phase?

A

3-phase has less ripple, produces better & more consistent x-rays

19
Q

Single-phase power has?

A

100% ripple

Voltage varies

20
Q

3-phase has?

A

14% ripple

Voltage never falls below 86

21
Q

3-phase, 12 pulse has?

A

4% ripple

Voltage never falls below 96

22
Q

High-frequency power has?

A

1% ripple

Voltage never falls below 99

23
Q

3-phase generator formula?

A

VxA=W

24
Q

1-phase Generator formula?

A

V x A x 0.7= W

25
Q

What do Falling-Load generators operate at?

A

Shortest time + highest mA

26
Q

What are the 2 main parts of the circuit?

A

Main Circuit & Filament Circuit

27
Q

What does the main circuit do?

A

Supplies power to X-ray tube so that X-rays are produced

28
Q

What does filament circuit do?

A

Supplies power to filament so that filament supplies enough electrons by thermionic emission

29
Q

What are the 3 parts if the main circuit?

A
  • main switch
  • exposure switch
  • timer
