Autotransformers
Changes the voltage supplied to the primary of the transformer, thereby providing carious kilo voltage for the x-ray tube
Fuses
Each wire leading from the main switch is provided with, which protect the equipment and reduce fire hazard
Main Switch
This i usually a double-blade, single throw switch. It is designed to break connection with both hot line simultaneously when activated
Primary circuits
Includes all equipment connected between the electrical source and the primary coil of the X-ray transformer
Number of dots
Number of pules X exposure time.
Spinning top
The simplest device for testing the competence of any type of rectifier diode
Rectifier
An electrical device that allows current to flow easily in only one direction
Refraction
The process of changing alternating current to direct current
Saturable reactor
Operation depends on the electromagnetic principle that if an iron core within or near a coil is saturated with a magnetic flux by an independent source or direct current, the inductance of the coil increases a the degree of saturation of the core increases
Rheostat
Functions the same as a choke coil when used as a voltage regulating device
Choke Coil
An electromagnetic device operating on the prinicple of self indulgence, requires and alternating current
Autotransformer Law
ATV(s)/ATV(p)= #of tapped turns/# of primary turns
self-induction
The principle that the auto transformer operates on
(Variable Transformer) Used in radio graphic unit to regulate the voltage available to the primary side of the high voltage transformer
