4kV - 10kV X-Ray Generator

The XMPG is a modular 10kV @ 10W X-Ray generator designed to drive a grounded filament X-Ray tube via closed loop filamentary control of the 0 to 1mA emission current. The grounded filament supply is rated at 0-5 amps @ 3Vdc. The filament supply features an internally adjustable 0.5 to 2.5 amp filament preheat and a internally adjustable 0 to 5 amp filament limit.

The high voltage program and emission current program have internal preset capability simplify interfacing to this X-Ray generator. Or a customer provided 0 to 10Vdc signal can be used to remotely control these two signals. A high voltage monitor signal and emission current monitor signal is provided. A High Voltage Enable input provides control of the high voltage output and a Filament Stable output indicates the filament current is stable and the X-Ray tube is producing X-Rays.
