COTALVA.  High-Voltage and Power Control Strategy for a Wide Operation Range
PROJECT INFORMATION
      Funding Entity: Spanish Government
      Partners: SUINSA, Universidad de Oviedo
      Contract Period: 01/12/1999 - 01/12/2001
      Total Budget: 18,300€
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
      Equipment: AC/DC Converter
      Goal: Development of specific strategies for HV converters in medical RAD applications.
MAIN FEATURES

High-Voltage converters in X-Ray medical applications experiment a wide variation in output and power levels.

The output swings from 0 to 120kV and has to be stable in less than 3 msec.

Additionally, an adequate control of the voltage level is mandatory, since it determines the radiation dose received.

This study focuses on resonant converters.
