PMX70
La PMX70 es el nuevo generador del alto voltaje de alto rendimiento de Spellman diseñado para alimentar tubos de mamografía Varex y de rayos X. Cuenta con un inversor de alta frecuencia de 12 kW pico y una sección de alto voltaje, con una fuente de alimentación para filamento de aprendizaje inteligente y un arrancador de alta velocidad. La tecnología de conversión de potencia de última generación proporciona un alto voltaje estable y preciso en tubos de rayos X, con tiempos de subida y bajada rápidos. La interfaz Ethernet y RS-232 facilita la integración del sistema. Parámetros precargados del tubo de rayos X, enclavamientos de fácil acceso y conexiones de Entrada/Salida, y diagnósticos internos del generador. También se ofrece un software utilitario opcional de interfaz gráfica para ayudar con la integración inicial del sistema.
Especificaciones

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.
