Started March 31, 2014:

- did the HV conditioning up to 30kV.

April 1, 2014:

- started the Heaters Conditioning. 

Heaters Conditioning finished.

The Power Supplies front panel:

 

TGHT: 5.56V and 580A

TBHT: 2.23V and 227A

April 2, 2014:

 

- did a mass scan. NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

plotdump-local-clean.txt_Apr2_14_16-33-19.txt

 

After the scan finished I found the Test Stand EPICS screens whited-out. Decided with Friedhelm to leave it as it was for the night and to contact Controls next day to reboot it without tripping the heaters and the HV.

April 3, 2014:

Found everything recovered. Except: “SOURCES ARCH IS RUNNING” was red. So, I restarted it. Jane Richards and Friedhelm didn’t do any IOC reboot. Also found that the data from yesterday’s scan was saved (see the previous scan).

Did another mass scan:  plotdump-local-clean.txt_Apr3_14_10-18-13.txt

NOTE: data is shifted by 10-15%.

Did the HV conditioning for the TiC#3 up to 30kV.

Heaters ramp up in progress.

Entry  Thursday, November 01, 2012, 14:57, Aurelia Laxdal, TiC#3, LP-SIS, ITW, TM1, , , , TSH:TGHT readback stopped at 264.5A (for a higher setpoint) 

The TSH:TGHT stopped at 263.7A, but the setpoint is still ramping (now at 421A). The voltage is set correctly: have 6.238V setpoint and 4.386V readback. The reading on the Power Supply shows 418A. Through the window the target assembly looks at high temperature. The readback on Epics seems stuck. E-Fault for Controls 6389

Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 16:32 at 37kV (EZL 22kV), TGHT timed out and cut the current to the target. I elected to leave it cold rather than suddenly reheating it, and am cooling down TBHT at -1A/30s, while continuing to increase BIAS for conditioning.

there have been no sparks at all and I'm unsure of what precipitated this event. None of the 'trip indicators' on the TGHT panel lit up during this event. I will bring this up with Keiko/Roberto tomorrow Sept 12.

Prepared the Test Stand for Controls to investigate E-Fault#6389.


Evgeniy increased the current limit on the power supply TSH:TGHT from 2 rotations to 7 rotations, after talking to Ray Dube.

I turned on the HV at 30kV and started the Auto-ramping.

Entry  Thursday, November 22, 2012, 12:52, Aurelia Laxdal, Test-SiC, HP-FEBIAD, , , , , , E-Fault#6389 re-directed to PS 

Evgeniy and Kazuya investigated the problem with TSH:TGHT readbacks and they came to the conclusion that the PS is faulty, and the PLC reads correctly the signal sent by the PS.  Kazuya is redirecting the E-Fault from Controls to PS.

Ray Dube estimated few weeks (4-6) to send the PS offsite for repairs. This needs to be scheduled. For the time being, one can use the Test Stand with the PS setpoints, displayed on its front panel, as a reference.
