With the leak detector pumping on the left coil line, a large leak could be confirmed at the soldering site.

NOTE: COIL PS is a 100 A supply, thus actual COIL current is 0.5x COIL set point.

Changed the FEBIAD connector blocks to have copper tubes exit below the block. Extended ANODE wire to allow it to be wrapped around Cu-tubes and keep it further away from the GE lines.

A new coil line will be made and the water and electrical connections on the service cap will be reconfigured.
