High-voltage generator provided with a hybrid insulation

摘要

The invention relates to a high-voltage generator which is proportioned so as to realize a particularly low weight in combination with a high output power and is suitable notably for use in rotating X-ray systems such as computed tomography apparatus. To this end, the high-voltage generator is provided with a hybrid insulation which is formed as far as possible by a high resistance foam (30 to 35) and an insulating liquid (50). The foam is shaped and arranged in such a manner that there are formed channels (40 to 45) wherethrough the insulating liquid (50) can flow in areas requiring a discharge of heat or an electric strength stronger than can be endured by the high- resistance foam alone.
