| Resumen |
High-voltage vacuum interrupters (solenoid-actuated relays used to control dc, ac and rf currents of potentials up to 100kV) can be potent X-ray sources. X-ray production was investigated in 18 devices of this type and correlated with electrode condition and alignment, gap width, and envelope pressure. X-ray fields of the order of tens of roentgens per hour at 1m were found in interrupters operated within their maximum voltage rating. The magnitude of these intensities and the unpredictable radiation production characteristics warrant an increased awareness of the hazard and the use of protective measures (shielding, personnel monitoring and training) to prevent insidious exposures. |
