The containment box has been removed from TM4 in prep for the IGLIS wiring job.

First thing I entered into the NHC to install to the target kart mounting clip, and remove excess tools and materials from the hotcell

After the TM3 without a target was lowered into the NHC.

Once inside, with the use of the manipulators, I was able to remove the containment box door, place it on the swivel arm, move the arm out of the way, after the door was return to the containment box and reattached.

The containment box cover has had all  the bolts installed and all bolts were checked with a mirror. TM3 has been raised and is ready for the last electrical  test before  it goes to the conditioning station.

 The containment box has been removed. Tomorrow the wiring harness will be installed.

Containment box has been removed in preparation for wire replacement.

TM4 has been reconnected to ITE after the module moving. The roughing is started . The water will be supplied to ITE after  testing  the water  pumps . The water interlock check will be done on next week also.

When the Containment Box was opened today by Chad for a target change, we found the conductor insulator block B (ITD0054) to be broken close to the right TGHT terminal. Chad was nevertheless able to remove the target. See DocuShare and attached file for photos.

An attempt to replace the insulator will be made tomorrow with a spare.

A small sticky piece, likely off plastic material, was found next to the left main source tray insulator. The piece was removed from the Containment Box. See link above and attachment for photos.

 The two insulators ITD0053 and ITD0054 was replaced this morning by Chad. Photos on DocuShare. All bolts torqued with torque wrench see attached PDF for values.

Ceramic conductor blocks ITD0053 and ITD0054 were replaced on TM2. Initially, only ITD0053 was to be replaced but after removing it it was noticed that ITD0054 (the larger conductor block behind it) was also broken, fractured through the helicoil that retained ITD0053 (see attached picture).

Both the old 53 and 54 fell into multiple pieces upon removal (see attached photo).

Fasteners holding 53 and 54 to the mounting plate and each other had loose washer on them. I have never seen this done before and, after checking drawing ITA3560 (extraction column Assembly) and confirming they have not been called out, I removed them before reinstalling.

Monday, October 02, 2017, 10:29: Accidentally set BIAS current limit to 0 A (step size too large) at 28 kV. This also caused the TGHT to got to 0 A. Recovered to 580 A in 10 - 15 s.

Monday, October 02, 2017, 12:07: Ramping down heaters at 2 A / min

NEW HV cable for BIAS installed earlier this week.

Wednesday, June 28, 2017, 17:00: BIAS at 35 kV, EZL at 17.5 kV

The voltage response on TBHT and TGHT changed as the target was heated up. This was later determined to be due to target shorting to heat shield and the grounding of the power supplies being achieved at the HV pedestal in the target hall and not in the HV enclosure as is done online. When this was changed, the target operated normally again.
