Use of High-Voltage Power Supplies in Portable X-Ray Machines
In portable radiography machines, the X-ray source (XRS) power supply plays a vital role in generating the X-rays necessary for medical imaging. This critical component functions by significantly boosting the relatively low voltage of the machine's battery (typically 14.4V or 18V) to a much higher range, often between 50kV and 100kV. This high voltage is then utilised within the X-ray tube to accelerate electrons to high speeds. When these accelerated electrons collide with a metal target within the tube, they lose energy and release X-rays for diagnostic purposes.

Portable X-Ray Power Supply Applications:
Portable X-ray power supplies offer a significant advantage over traditional, facility-based X-ray systems; their portability. This allows medical professionals to perform X-ray imaging on patients who are unable to travel or in situations where immediate on-site imaging is crucial. Here are some key applications of portable X-rays, along with the locations and reasons for their use:
Medical Settings
- Emergency Departments: In fast-paced emergency situations, portable X-rays are used to quickly assess fractures, sprains, and other injuries. This allows for prompt diagnosis and treatment decisions without needing to wait for transfer to X-ray facilities.
- Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and Critical Care Settings: Critically ill patients may be too unstable to move for X-rays. Portable X-rays can be brought to the bedside to assess conditions like pneumonia or broken ribs without causing further stress to the patient.
- Operating Rooms: During some surgeries, surgeons may need real-time X-ray images to guide procedures. Portable X-ray systems are ideal for this purpose due to their maneuverability within the sterile operating environment.
In The Field
- Nursing Homes and Long-Term Care Facilities: For elderly or immobile residents, portable X-rays eliminate the need for transport to a hospital for imaging, offering a more comfortable and less disruptive experience.
- Field Medicine and Remote Locations: Medical personnel working in disaster zones, rural areas, or on battlegrounds often rely on portable X-rays to provide critical medical care where traditional X-ray machines are unavailable.
- Veterinary Care: Portable X-rays are commonly used in veterinary clinics and for large animals that cannot be easily transported for traditional X-ray imaging.
10kV to 25kV High Voltage Opto couplers
Introducing VMI’s New 20kV Optocouplers — OC200G and OC200HG
Available in a clear molded package, VMI’s 10kV and 15kV version optocouplers are fabricated with two infrared LEDs. VMI’s 25kV optocoupler, the OC250 is assembled in shell with enough isolation to allow it to be operated in air without the need for additional insulation. All optocouplers are rated for 25kV isolation voltage between the LEDs and the high voltage diode.
