  • X-RAY DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A DC-AC CONVERTER
    Publication number: 20110080991
    Abstract: The invention provides an X-ray device for controlling a DC-AC converter, wherein the DC-AC converter is adapted for supplying a resonant circuit and a transformer (105) of a computer tomography gantry (91) with electrical energy, wherein the gantry comprises a rotary part (93) and a stationary part (92), wherein the transformer (105) is adapted for providing a current, feeding a high voltage rectifier circuit (106), providing an output voltage (107), the X-ray device comprises a detector for detecting the output voltage, a predictor (501) for calculating a first output with the use of processing the output voltage (107), wherein the first output represents the change of the output voltage (107) for the possible states of the DC-AC converter (102), a control loop (503) for calculating the required change of the output voltage (107) with the use of processing the output voltage (107) and the target specification, a decision block (502) for calculating a control value with the use of processing the first output
