Attempts to get to higher voltages, summarized.

The test stand holds up to 63kV, however at voltages over 54kV there are small discharges, rising to a continuous level around 60kV. The best guess right now is that these are coronal discharges coming from the end of the HV duct to the faraday cage. The only way to fix this would be to round out the edges of the duct, or to move the duct farther away. Since I have heard small discharges in other places, we may need to make a variety of modifications. Things that have had no effect:

1. Changing the EZL/EE voltages - break down is happening only between HV bias and ground

2. Cleaning the faraday cage

3. Locating sparks with a thermal camera

4. Conditioning - break down always happens at the same point

Trying HV with rubber corona shield

Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 09:01: Sparks at 62.5kV after a couple minutes. Sounds like they were in the EE spark gap but don't appear on the EE read current. Ozone smell around 61kV, so there are still some discharges.

Turned back up to 62.5kV but no sparks. Put it up to 63.5kV and there was a spark, but not in the EE spark gap as expected. Took down TP1B but everything is back up and seems fine.

Running list of changes to the ISAC test stand for >60kV operation

1. Al corona shield installed over end of the HV duct to suppress discharges from the sharp edge of the duct.

2. Some moving and shortening of cables to keep them from running close to different voltages.

3. Changed the angle bracket on the 3M bias-EE resistor chain to a plate, same position.

4. Moved the 164K EE resistor chain to sit flat against feedthrough K.

5. Moved the bias-EE spark gap to sit flat against the back of feedthrough K, required tapping a hole in the back of the copper clamp.

6. Cap and top of rack vacuumed.

7. Piece of shielding removed from top of HV rack

The BIAS was pushed to 69 kV however the resulting sparks shut down the communications with the test stand computer.

RPM0B was put into a continuous running cycle and had to be shut off manually.

The voltage was brought back down remotely via a separate computer. Turbo pump TMS : TP2 was also restarted.

Trying HV without electronics

I have removed the resistor/varistor combinations that go between the poles of the target and tube heaters, and between those two supplies. I tested all the components to make sure they were still working after the sparks - for the record the varistors clamp at 23V, not 33V as implied by the schematic.

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 10:48 BIAS/EE/EZL = 59.5/-1000/29.5 There was some kind of spark, the current on the bias supply went up to 400uA ( normally at 40 +/- 5 ) and the vacuum jumped a bit ( but still in the 10e-7 range ) but I didn't hear anything. It took out TP6 again. See first attachment.

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 10:54 BIAS/EE/EZL = 60/-1/30

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 12:00 BIAS/EE/EZL = 60/-1.5/29

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 12:37 BIAS/EE/EZL = 62/-1.5/30

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 14:11 BIAS/EE/EZL = 64/-1.5/31 No sparks but occasional ticking sounds from either the EZL or behind where the EE is... see second screenshot

Tuesday, March 06, 2018, 14:40 BIAS/EE/EZL = 65/-1.5/33

Test stand has been sitting at 65kV for about an hour now. Some small increases in bias power supply current but nothing significant (40uA). Some small sparks on the way to this voltage, and I ramped up very slowly. The corona discharges seen before seem to be related to the resistor/varistor combos since there are none now that I have removed them. Will redesign and reinstall.

Change of electronics on target and tube power supplies

The resistor/varistor combinations across the target + / -, tube + / - and target- / tube + have been remade and moved to the back of the power supplies to limit the corona discharges at higher voltages. Pictures attached.

HV test with electronics moved to rack

First attachment: BIAS/EE/EZL = 63.25/-1.5/31 So far no issues.

Second attachment: BIAS/EE/EZL = 64.25/-1.5/32 Slight spark - bias current jumped from 40uA to 88uA and vacuum jumped from 2e-7 to 2e-6... Steerers went off.

Third attachment: BIAS/EE/EZL = 65/-1.5/32 Some small signs of instability in the bias power supply

Fourth attachment : BIAS/EE/EZL = 65/-1.5/32 Been running for 20 mins now. More variation on the bias current output than at lower voltages but not too bad

Bringing up HV with gas on

Pressure:

Previous HV tests done at 2e-7 pressure.

Current pressure 1.1e-6 (see previous entry for RGA stats) - first attachment shows source gas setup. Argon, neon and He leaks all on.

Ramping up:

Second attachment - bias at 50kV
Third attachment - bias at 60kV
Fourth attachment - bias at 65kV

Pressure has been slowly falling since we started this test - now down to 8.7e-7

Spark after 10 mins, see attachment 5. Very slight vacuum jump (8.5e-7 -> 1.2e-6) and bias current jump (36uA -> 113uA). Tripped TP6 and the steerers, as usual. Bias current read back more erratic afterwards (see sixth attachment).

System has been stable for 20mins, though current on bias is still more erratic than before the spark. Increasing He leak rate from 7 to 7.06 to bring vacuum back up to 2e-6 (see attachment 7). No effect from increased pressure.

PS goes to limited current even at 2V.

Tuesday, April 10, 2018, 09:10: Problem persists even at lower TBHG (330A).

The output cable was removed and the power power supply seemed to behave better. This could mean that there is a short inside the unit, in the past the anode cable had melted into the cup.

Planning to ramp down the TBHT and see if the behaviour remains. If it does, I would ask to remove the unit for inspection.

Tuesday, April 10, 2018, 09:32 : Ramping down TBHTH to 250A

Started with Anode at 25V and coil at 0A, bias at 30kV. (attachment 1)

Ramped coil to 60A (0.4V) (attachment 2)

Ramped bias to 51kV, but then TP6 turned off and there was a momentary 0.2A decrease in the TGHT current. No spike in BIAS current seen, maybe TP6 is turning off for another reason? (attachment 3)

At 57kV, a small spark, heard outside the vacuum, sounding like it comes somewhere near the blue racks which hold the power supplies. It has sounded like that to me before. Did not turn anything off but bias current spiked from 110uA to 280uA. (attachment 4)

At 57.5kV another spark, taking down TP1B and TP6, as well as the CB1 steerers and TPS:Q1/2. TGHT current dropped momentarily from 581A to 240A, or so says EPICS. Maybe just a communications effect? Voltage for TBHT also dropped but nothing seen on TBHT. Coil current and voltage also showed small effects. (attachment 5)

After 10mins at 60kV, spike in bias current with slight spike in EE current but no other effects.

After 20mins everything has been stable, will turn the bias back to 30kV. As I turn the bias voltage down, the EE current ramps up. No change to EE voltage... (attachment 6)

Re-wiring Anode PS

Thursday, April 19, 2018, 12:52: Pin J1 was reconnected into the anode power supply. All jumpers were put back to remote control.

NOTE: the cable EXTLKT is still not connected. I will ask Carla about this one.

Thursday, April 19, 2018, 18:00: Cable EXTLKT connected.

Thursday, April 19, 2018, 18:12 When turning the transformer on, the Anode PS was not turned on. Neither the TGHT.

Thursday, April 19, 2018, 18:30: I turned off everything. Will check tomorrow with someone.

Friday, April 20, 2018, 11:01 : Issue fixed. I've attached a picture of the jumpers connection for future references

BIAS* fan sounds like it is dying

The fan in the EZL power supply is making a terrible noise - keep an eye on it, it sounds like it might give up soon.

Monday, April 23, 2018, 10:47: The back panel was opened. Original entry stated EZL power supply issue. Corrected to BIAS PS. High voltage group notified. Fan replacement required.

Monday, May 14, 2018, 13:20: BIAS fans, external an internal were replaced. Re-installed @ TS.

Monday, May 14, 2018, 13:26: BIAS ramped up to 10 kV. Response ok on epics and locally on the PS. No odd noise on the fans either. The issue appears to be fixed.
