CLO04: Discuss importance of voltage ripple.
Voltage waveforms are characterized by voltage ripple. Voltage ripple consists of four different types. Single-phase has a one hundred percentage voltage ripple where the voltage ranges from zero to its maximum value. Three phase, six pulse has a fourteen percent voltage ripple with eighty-six being its lowest percent of the maximum value. Three phase, twelve pulse has a four percent voltage ripple with ninety-six being the lowest percent of the maximum value. The high-frequency generator has a one percent voltage ripple. Voltage ripple is absolutely necessary because in order to utilize an x-ray tube, the wavelength cannot be interrupted. The high-frequency generator is the only viable option that is sufficient for x-ray tube production. A voltage waveform with a lesser voltage ripple allows for greater quality as well as quantity in terms of its x-ray production.
