Today a HV test at atmosphere was performed for Each Line(s), while floating the other lines.

Please note the Einzel Lens line (Y) was grounded.

Tests performed:

1. Applied up to 29kV to "(A) OVEN -"

Sparks occurred at 29kV at the Fiber Glass inside the Service Tray; and at the right side at the lines wrapped in Fiber Glass.

2. Applied up to 29kV to "(B) OVEN +"

Sparks occurred at 29kV at the Fiber Glass inside the Service Tray.

3. Applied up to 6-7kV to "(C) TUBE -"

Could not identify the sparks; it was a continuous discharge.

4. Applied up to 6-7kV to "(D) TUBE +"

Sparks/discharges occurred at 6-7kV at the Fiber Glass on the right side at the lines wrapped in Fiber Glass. We had to turn OFF the lights in the Hot Cell to identify the small sparks.

5. Applied up to 4kV to "(P-Q) COIL +"

Discharge occurred at 4kV. Could not identify it.

6. Applied up to 29kV to "(R-U) COIL -"

Sparks occurred around 27-29kV at the Fiber Glass inside the Service Tray; and at the right side at the lines wrapped in Fiber Glass.

Tom saw a spark at 27kV between the Extraction Electrode holder and the Ground Electrode.

Saw also a spark at the Ring Alumina insulator in the Service Tray, located on top of the second comb insulator with Epoxi.

7. Applied up to 27kV to "(E) Cavity or MSP, (G) Gas, (J) Heat Shield" - all these are connected together at the BIAS voltage.

Sparks occurred at 27kV at the Fiber Glass inside the Service Tray.

8. Applied up to 23kV to "(I) EE" - this is for the Extraction Electrode.

Sparks occurred at 23kV again at the same spot near the bottom screw hole, between the Extraction Electrode holder and the Ground Electrode.

9. Applied up to 27kV to "(F) Plasma"- this is for the Anode.

Sparks occurred at 26-27kV again at the same spot near the bottom screw hole, between the Extraction Electrode holder and the Ground Electrode.
