Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 10:00 The TGHT TBHT parameters were mistakenly reversed during heating. TBHT was dropped to 230A and TGHT increased to 580A at 1A/30s.

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.

 

Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 17:06  one spark occurred at 49kV

 Wednesday, September 11, 2024, 17:15  now at 50kV, EZL at 33kV.  Over 30 minutes there was just one spark at the HV bias.
