This timer has complex circuitry and accurate up to one millisecond.

• Exposure Timer

• Electronic Timer

• Mechanical Timer

• Synchronous Timer

This timer is based off of the length of exposure time is determined by the Radiographer or by AEC.

• Exposure Timer

• Electronic Timer

• Mechanical Timer

• Synchronous Timer

This allows the negative half cycle to be reversed so that a positive voltage is always directed across the tube.

• High Voltage Transformer

• Falling Load Generator

• Full Wave Rectification

• Line Compensator

When voltage is not allowed to swing negatively during the negative half cycle.

• Full Wave Rectification

• High Voltage Transformer

• Line Compensator

• Half Wave Rectification

This is a step up transformer.

• Filament Circuit

• mA Control Panel

• Operator Console

• High Voltage Transformer

This equipment converts low supply voltage into kilovoltage of a proper waveform.

• Filament Circuit

• Autotransformer

• High Voltage Transformer

• Full Wave Rectification

This transformer's secondary voltage is greater than the primary voltage because of the number of windings is greater in the secondary side than the primary.
