ABSTRACT:
In an inverter type X-ray apparatus comprising an inverter including a plurality of switching elements operated alternately to generate an AC voltage having a rectangular waveform, a high voltage transformer transforming the AC voltage of rectangular waveform into a high AC voltage, a high voltage rectifier circuit rectifying the high AC voltage into a DC voltage, and an X-ray tube to which the DC voltage is applied as a tube voltage, the switching elements are driven to make chopping operation at a frequency high than the inverter drive frequency, and a pattern signal is generated for gradually increasing the duty cycle of the chopping operation in synchronism with the timing of switching over the switching elements.
