High Voltage (HV) testing was completed on TM1 today. Vacuum was very good 1.9 x 10^-7 T in the service cap, 3.2 x 10^-7 in the containment box, and 2.0 x 10^-6 in the secondary. The voltage was successfully brought up to 27kV with a current draw of 0.12mA and o sparking. At the next step, 30 kV, the current draw was above 0.3mA and sparking was beyond 20 sparks per minute. The module should not be taken above 27kV. There is the possibility this voltage can be increased with conditioning but it is very unlikely. See attached for a graph of the testing. These results are comparable to the results without the source tray (see previous elog) |
