x-ray transformer questions



Original poster: "Jack Vandam" <snotoir7674g-at-mindspring-dot-com> 

Hello all once again,

Tonight's questions concern a Westinghouse x-ray transformer.  There are two
things I'm wondering about with this unit: its specs and input/ output
information.

Here's what's on the label:
cycles 50/60
wiring 3D 8939
style 981928
Volts AC, KVA, and Amps are all blank.
Under the word "Westinghouse", there are the following tiny numbers: 36233-D

Can anyone figure out the complete specs with this info?

Now for the input connections:
XFL, XFC, XFS, G, MA, A, AA

Input hookup info?

And, finally, there are two high voltage recessed terminals.  One has a
single center conductor; the other side has three (their purpose?).  The
diameter of the sockets is 1.25".  I did manage to obtain some high voltage
cable at one point, but the end diameters are too large.  I'm considering
making new ends out of epoxy or if I could obtain the correct size cable
economically, I would go with that.

Dimensions are about 13.5x17x15 inches and it must weigh at least 250 lbs I
would guess.  Not sure what I'm going to use it for, but my purpose right
now is to just find out about it and get it going, using an appropriate
variac for current limiting of course.

If anyone has any info on this or a similar unit, I would appreciate your
sharing of it.

Thanks,
Jack
