Abstract

An x-ray generator has a power rectifier connected to a high-frequency inverse rectifier and having a high-voltage transformer supplied by the rectifier. In order to achieve low losses in the operation of the high-voltage transformer with a low internal capacitance, the electrical windings of the high-voltage transformer are provided with an insulation having a thickness which is greater than the thickness which would be required solely to accommodate the maximum voltage load.
