not always. we have a dozen or so XRT supplies, all 60Hz but vary from two 
extremes. When I asked about it I was told it has to do with duty cycle. 
Most medical XRTs are designed for only ~10 seconds of runtime at a shot. 
This is why we have some 125kV supplies that weigh 300lbs. We also have a 
75kV unit that tipps the scales at well over a ton, but it's also designed 
for a 1 HOUR continuous runtime.
