Zusammenfassung:A multitube X-ray emitter housing according to the invention includes a housing, a high-voltage supply and a cooling device with an electrically insulating cooling medium. The high-voltage supply has a plurality of high-voltage contacts connected in parallel on a single high-voltage supply lead. A first of at least one side surface of the housing has a first electrically conductive housing portion with a temperature-dependent electrical conductivity. The multitube X-ray emitter housing further includes: a control unit having an interface to receive a measured value representing the electrical conductivity of the first electrically conductive housing portion and to compare the measured value with a threshold value; and a switching device to switch off the high voltage based on the comparison.
