High-voltage circuit

the electric circuit of an X ray generator that supplies the high voltage to the X ray tube. Schematically, the X-ray generator consists of three main circuits; the high-voltage circuit (which includes the cathode and anode of the X-ray tube), the filament circuit (which supplies current for heating of the filament), and a timer circuit (which regulates the duration of the X-ray exposure). See X-ray generator (I), Fig. 1.
