In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low

voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high

voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to

provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own

separate transformer.

Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors

came along.

What devices control x-ray tube filament current?

The filament current of an x-ray tube is primarily controlled by a filament transformer, which adjusts the voltage and current supplied to the filament. Additionally, a rheostat or variable resistor may be used to fine-tune the filament current for optimal electron emission. In modern systems, electronic control circuits can also regulate the filament current more precisely, ensuring consistent performance and improved image quality. These devices work together to ensure the correct heating of the filament, enabling effective x-ray production.
