Yes, an auto-transformer can be back-fed, but this practice must be done with caution. Back-feeding refers to supplying power to the transformer from its secondary side, which can lead to safety hazards, including electric shock and equipment damage, if not properly managed. It’s crucial to ensure that the connections and protective measures are appropriately installed and that the transformer is rated for such use. Always consult electrical codes and a qualified electrician when considering back-feeding an auto-transformer.

Is autotransformer adjusted when selecting kvp?

Yes, the autotransformer is adjusted when selecting the kilovolt peak (kVp) in radiographic imaging. It functions to provide the necessary voltage to the primary side of the transformer, which ultimately determines the kVp applied to the x-ray tube. By adjusting the autotransformer, the radiologic technologist can set the appropriate kVp for optimal image quality and patient safety.
