PMX70

The PMX70 is Spellman’s new high performance X-Ray generator designed to power Varex Mammography X-Ray tubes. It features a 12kW peak high frequency inverter and high voltage section complete with a smart learning filament power supply and high speed starter. State of the art power conversion technology provides stable and accurate X-Ray tube high voltage with fast rise and fall times. Ethernet and RS-232 interfacing provides easy system integration. Preloaded X-Ray tube parameters, easy access interlocks and I/O connections, and internal generator diagnostics. Optional GUI utility software is also offered to help with initial system integration.

Технические характеристики

^{(Ref. 128113-001 REV. A)}

Input Voltage:

230Va c ±10%, single phase, 50Hz/60Hz

Input Current:

30 amps, customer to fuse.
Mains Contactor – not provided.
Customer is responsible for mains safety disconnection.

Less than 30 amps over a typical scan is defined as following: Due to unknown line impeadance, customer supllied external inductors 100uH to 300uH in series with input connections, (200uH to 600uH total), may be required to keep rms currents below 30 amps and to avoid erroneous circuit breaker trips. Spellman can recommend appropriate inductors as required.
