Left TM4 at 40kV overnight with no previous heating. There was only one real spark which turned off TP2 but ops turned it back on. Ramping up again.
Tuesday, July 09, 2019, 09:13 : At 45kV the module is sparking on the top pretty regularly. Turned down and David will remove cover and lock out target hall.
Tuesday, July 09, 2019, 16:30 : Went up to 45kV pretty easily now.
Tuesday, July 09, 2019, 16:32 : Everything tripped at 46.5kV. Looks to be a spark outside the vacuum. TM4 sparking much more outside the vacuum than last checks done without the source tray...
Tuesday, July 09, 2019, 16:43 : Everything easy up to 46.8kV, then sparking a bit. Most of the sparks are outside the vacuum. Sitting at BIAS / EZL = 47.1kV / 28kV for a couple mins before ramping down.
Tuesday, July 09, 2019, 16:57 : 10 mins at 47.1kV with not problems. Continuing up still looks like it is really sparking a lot outside the vacuum. |
