The lightest power supply for an X-ray source

The compact 3K5 is one of the most reliable and efficient X-ray source power supplies available. The modern design, based on inverter technology gives operational stability minus of 0.01 % (for 10% power supply fluctuation) and has the additional advantages of low weight (45 kg) and compact size. There are safety devices, consisting of a warning light and the generator power trips in the case of X-ray tube overheating. An optional water chiller is available to cool the X-ray tube and its generator.

Compact 3K5 in normally available in three versions (manual, PC controlled via a PC serial port or both) and in three configurations (standard 19” rack mountable, stand alone cabinet and inserted in a working table with a vertical or horizontal tube mount and a large working area). All three Compact 3K5 generators have good flexibility and adaptability. They have been designed to acclaimed standards.

 

Compact 3K5, in the 19” standard rack configuration, is ready to be mounted into any system, independently of its manufacturer, without needing to be adapted.
Compact 3K5, in the stand alone configuration, is delivered with its own self-protected enclosure and can be installed anywhere.

Compact 3K5 is also available as a working table configuration, on top of which is mounted its tube shield, in either a vertical or a horizontal position.
