"In the high-voltage circuit of the X-ray generator, step-up transformers are used to convert the mains voltage (120 - 240 V) to the high voltages (20,000 - 150,000 V) required for x-ray production."

"secondary coil has more turns than the primary coil (Ns > Np)"
"secondary coil has less turns than the primary coil (Ns < Np)"
"The secondary voltage (Vs) is related to the primary voltage (VP) by the number of ratio of the number of turns (N) in each coil, such that:"
"Vs/Vp = Ns/Np"
"The product of voltage (V) and current (I) in the two circuits are equal (thereby meeting the Conservation of Energy principle)."
"VpIp = VsIs"
