ABSTRACT:
An x-ray tube rotor controller uses the main high voltage inverters for acceleration and speed maintenance. The rotor controller includes a DC voltage source, and a rotary anode drive circuit including a rotary anode motor designed as a two-winding induction motor. The rotor controller comprises first and second inverter circuits which may be either half bridge or full bridge arrangements, the first and second inverter circuits for accelerating the anode, and further for generating high voltage for the x-ray tube. Electronic switching means allow for instantaneous electronic switching of the output of the first and second inverter circuits between the high voltage power supply and the anode motor. A phase switching capacitor may be used to provide the other phase of the motor.
