X-ray high-voltage cables are crucial components in medical imaging systems and industrial X-ray applications. These cables must be designed to handle high voltages while providing insulation and shielding to ensure safety and reliable performance. The construction of a typical X-ray high-voltage cable involves several components and layers:

1. Conductor: The core of the cable is the conductor, typically made of stranded copper wires. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and is commonly used in high-voltage applications.

2. Insulation: Surrounding the conductor is an insulating layer, which is essential for preventing electrical leakage and ensuring the safety of operators and patients. Common insulation materials include polyethylene, rubber, or silicone, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

3. Insulating Layer: In addition to the primary insulation around the conductor, there may be an additional insulating layer to enhance the cable’s dielectric strength and overall insulation properties.

4. Shielding: To protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiofrequency interference (RFI), X-ray high-voltage cables are often equipped with a shielding layer. This layer is typically made of metallic materials like aluminum or copper, and it helps contain the electromagnetic fields generated by the high voltages within the cable.

5. Outer Jacket: The cable is then encased in an outer jacket, which provides mechanical protection and durability. The outer jacket is usually made of materials such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer).

6. Grounding Conductor: In some cases, especially in cables used in medical imaging equipment, a grounding conductor may be included to provide an additional layer of safety by ensuring proper grounding.

It’s important to note that the specific construction of X-ray high-voltage cables can vary based on the application and the manufacturer’s design. The materials used and the layering arrangement are chosen to meet the electrical and safety requirements of the particular system in which the cable is used. Additionally, compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations is essential to ensure the cable’s safety and performance. Whatsapp:+86 18953679166. Email: service@newheek.com
