Pulses per second
The frequency denotes the count of pulses per second in a sine wave. In the case of an alternating current (a.c.) quantity, it is measured in cycles per second.
-
Pulsating direct current
Referring to the current that has undergone rectification, originating from an alternating current source.
-
Pulsating
Manifesting in a rhythmic pulsation, akin to the undulating current observed within an x-ray tube.

Primary x-ray circuit
The x-ray circuit is segmented into the primary or low voltage side, which is segregated by the primary coils of the high voltage and filament transformers. The primary side encompasses various components, including the main switch, fuses, autotransformer, prereading kilovoltmeter, time, exposure switch, remote control switch, circuit breaker, filament ammeter, choke coil, and the primary…

Prereading kilovoltmeter
The primary purpose of the meter is to gauge the applied potential difference. While the voltage transfers from the autotransformer to the primary winding of the high voltage transformer, this meter amplifies the measurement by a factor of 1000, thus displaying the corresponding kilovoltage. It is connected in parallel with the autotransformer to enable accurate…
