Circuits are at _______ to minimize electric shock
Low voltage
Xray imaging should be operated on ____ power
220V
Measures the voltage provided to the cray imaging system and adjust to 220V/ volatege to be “smooth”
Line voltage compensator / Automatic line compensator
Power supplied to the Xray imaging system is forst delivered to the
Autotransformer
Has a single winding and designed to supply precise voltage to Filament circuit and highvoltage circuit
Autotransformer
