A)single-phase, unrectified
B)single phase, rectified

Question

Three-phase, 12-pulse x-ray generators have lower patient entrance skin exposure than single-phase generators or three-phase 6-pulse generators. This is because they use more pulses and have a smoother waveform, resulting in less variation in radiation output.
