No Load kV Test with Rotation

Prerequisites

This document provides the necessary steps to verify the health of the kV insulation of the High Voltage Tank and X-ray Tube. For kV insulation issues, instructions are provided to isolate to either a faulty High Voltage Tank or X-ray Tube.

note: First execute the test with the HV cables connected.

Procedure

  1. Select DIAGNOSTICS from console Service desktop.
  2. Select GENERATOR TOOL - JEDI
  3. Select KV Diagnostics
  4. Launch the NO LOAD KV DIAGNOSTIC tool.
  5. Run the diagnostic. Verify:
    • No error is reported on the console

    • inverter gate_cmd board Leds DS101, DS102, DS201, DS202 are lit: IGBTs gate drive supply is working properly.

      If this test does not pass, then execute the test with the HV cables disconnected.

  6. If needed, remove gantry side and front covers.
  7. Perform High Voltage Termination Plug Installation
  8. Verify that Class C, Class M software has been installed, and insert Class C and Class M Proprietary Service Key.
  9. Perform ROTATING No Load KV testing
    Run the No Load kV test using the following parameters: kV = 80, Exposure time (msec) = 1000, Gantry Rotation = Enabled, Rotation Speed (sec) = 2.000.

    Figure 1. Rotating No Load KV Test

  10. Click Confirm button. Then attention box will show up: Gantry Enabled to Rotate, Press OK button, it will start to rotate and scan.

    Figure 2.

  11. Run the diagnostic. Verify:
    • No error is reported on the console

    • inverter gate_cmd board Leds DS101, DS102, DS201, DS202 are lit : IGBTs gate drive supply is working properly

  12. If the latter part of the test passes, along with the “Shorted Inverter Test ”, the system more than likely has a tube or HV cable problem.

Finalization

  1. Turn OFF HVDC ENABLE, AXIAL DRIVE ENABLE, and 120 VAC ENABLE switches on Service Switch.
  2. Remove High Voltage Terminal Plug and perform Securing HV Cable.
  3. Turn ON 120 VAC ENABLE, AXIAL DRIVE ENABLE, and HVDC ENABLE switches on Service Switch.
  4. Press ESTOP RESET on Service Switch panel and wait until scan hardware is reset.
  5. Perform System Reboot.
    note:

    System Reboot is required to reset the JEDI software expected load capacitance value. If the System is not rebooted, a Wrong High Voltage Capacitance Measured type error may occur.
