Abstract

A high-voltage measurement divider for an X-ray tube is provided. The high-voltage measurement divider includes a ground connection, a high-voltage connection, a measuring tap, and divider modules of substantial identical design apart from the circuitry. Each of the divider modules has a first connection, a second connection, a resistor board, and at least one flat potential electrode. The divider modules are connected at corresponding connections in series between the ground connection and the high-voltage connection. At least one division stage is formed by each of the divider modules, and a first division stage is formed between the measuring tap and the ground connection.
