OEM#: LU8317HIGH VOLTAGE CATHODE CABLE by Lunar (GE Healthcare)

An X-ray imaging apparatus includes a vacuum tube having a cathode and anode for the production of an X-ray beam. The apparatus further includes a source for generating and maintaining a high voltage potential during the operation of the X-ray tube. In the preferred embodiment, the source has separate high voltage power supplies for the anode and cathode of the tube. The X-ray tube is electrically connected to the source by high voltage cables, one connecting the anode power supply to the anode of the X-ray tube and another connecting the cathode power supply to the cathode of the X-ray tube. The cathode comprises tungsten thermionic emitting source and focusing surfaces. Upon application of an applied potential the thermionically emitted electrons traverse the vacuum gap between the cathode and anode, impacting the anode thereby generating X-Rays. The Cable High Voltage Cathode DPX-NTB is used to supply high voltage power to cathode of the X-ray tube.Excellent electrical characteristicsEasy to handleVery high voltageImproved connectivityHigh temperature resistance
