Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 16:15: While inspecting the 9-pin connection with Ferran, it was noticed how two braided cables were burnt out pretty bad to the point they were separated in half (see attached pictures). Additionally the plastic insulator for the anode wire was melted.
Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 16:30: Braided cables need to be changed and anode wire redone.
Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 17:16: Wondering if this happened during TM4 source tray conditioning given the following entries in the elog (entry 725):
Monday, June 03, 2019, 09:51: BIAS down to 50 kV. Burnt plastic smell lingering. Wait*
Tuesday, June 04, 2019, 10:29: Note* Minute fluctuations of Anode current have ended after the spark. Also slight 'Burnt' smell noticed around the test stand area.
