Type: Maintenance 
Module: TM4 
Target/Number: No target 
Subject: Ramping voltage on TM4 w/o source tray 

TM4 in conditioning station with no source tray, extraction electrode set to HV bias. Brought up to 30kV over the weekend by ISAC ops with no issues.

BIAS=30kV

EL=15kV

IG1=9.4e-7T

 

Monday, June 10, 2019, 08:21 : At 32.4kV on bias, EL at 15kV, bias sparked to EL. Every bump of 100V on bias is accompanied by a small vacuum jump and often by a small current increase from ~60uA to 120uA.

* Conditioning station read back and set values are off by 2kV but archive values show this has always been the case. Which to trust? *

Monday, June 10, 2019, 08:54 : Spark while sitting at 38kV on bias, 19kV on EL. Seems to be a spark to EL.  Sitting at 38kV for ~10mins

Monday, June 10, 2019, 09:32 : Sat at 40kV for ~10mins or so, bumping up again.

Monday, June 10, 2019, 09:38 : Spark to EL while sitting at BIAS / EL = 42kV / 20.5kV

 

Monday, June 10, 2019, 13:57 : Ramped to BIAS / EL = 43 / 21.2. No problems other than what seems to be the usual conditioning station stuff.

 Monday, June 10, 2019, 14:17  : Couple sparks on the way to 48kV, seems to be to the EL.

Monday, June 10, 2019, 14:36 : Up to BIAS/EL = 51/25.5 with no big problems. Will stay here for a couple mins
