***NOTE***

P (kW) = A*V

TGHT at 475/7.84V, temp at 1550 C (3.72 kW - Max operating target heating power)

Note:  To condition the nanoSiC, it is better to keep TBHT at 0A and ramp up TGHT to 475A while monitoring the vacuum.  Then step up TBHT; any increase in vacuum would indicate a local evaporation of nanoSiC close to the ionizer.
