Abstract

The invention relates to high-voltage power supplies for X-ray tubes in radiological apparatuses. The invention lies in the fact that the secondary windings of the transformer, the capacitors, and the diodes of the rectifier and voltage-doubler circuits, are all disposed in an enclosure made from two half-shells, whereas the primary winding and the magnetic circuit are disposed outside the enclosure.
