Briefly went over last week's meeting minutes and path forward.
+
Discussed minutes from last mtg.
There has been alot of email chatter on the quench detector configuration. Bob Flora is happy with the current plan on using the software QD as the primary and the hardware as the secondary possible at a higher trip value.
+
With the new power supply ramping procedure, we see no voltage spike on going from zero current.
The PXI changes supporting this are done and the PLC changes should be complete early next week.
+
 
George will reissue the 140A procedure by tomorrow morning. High current preliminary procedure and the updated quench write up by COB Monday.
+
The current is lagging behind what it should be during the programmed ramp up. May be due to resistance in magnet with PS set to inductive or the PS not balanced to 25H. Will do further testing without magnet hooked up. Possibly change algorithm.
We will change out the dial pots on the hardware QD with a 10 turn balance pot and a 3 3/4 turn gain pot early next week.
+
 
Jonathan's crew is still working on the refrigerator and anticipates he will be ready for cooldown by next Wednesday.
+
Bill Schneider raised question of 1360A with dewar is slightly below .9K margin. Do we wish to do it?
Need to make a decision by Tuesday as whether or not to start cooldown of the refrigerator on Wednesday since Patrizia will be away from the lab starting Wednesday.
+
 
Discussion of turn to turn shorts determined that it is not worth the effort to do an R&D run to determine what can be detected.
+
Discussed the timing of the cooldown and testing - see "Path Forward" section below. Jonathan working on plan to allow liquid levels to drop to allow more time for superconducting testing.
It was suggested that we use a lower ramp rate at high currents to reduce any effects and George will incorporate this into the high current run procedure.
+
 
George and crew will continue with ramp rate test at low current to look at the effects on voltage spikes.
+
The minimum current for commissioning should be 1200A (by Aug 9)- do we do a full mapping at this current?
It was a general consensus that if the voltage spikes are small enough, the 25 Henry tuning hardware will not be installed until after mapping.
+
 
The current thinking for high current is to go to 1360A with dewar installed (from some lower current)and then go to 1350 and map the beamline location only. Then reduce to 1300A and fully map the magnet. When the dewar runs out it will not cause any pressure spikes.
+
Tuning PS to 25H - Decided to borrow a spare board from Hall C sister PS and test in our PS. If it works, modify the spare board according to Danfysik instructions. When it is ready, make decision on whether or not to implement.
We will assume the pressure spike from connecting the dewar will bring the temp to 5K (very conservative). Probir will determine the max current we can run at 5K with a .9K margin per Alcorn's spec.
+
 
It was also sgreed upon that it would be prudent to go to a slow dump if the PXI heartbeat dies.
+
Decision to change allowable voltage rise in the hardware QD to 500 mv. Also, the software QD integration time will be increased to 250msec for 100 mv limit.
 +
George will update rev. D of the procedure with high current running and these QD limit changes.
 +
 
 +
Probir calculated the max current at which we can add a Dewar to the system based on a 5K limit (with .9K margin). This would be 1200A
 +
 
 +
We discussed the pressure rise possibility during a fast dump. George will look at what happened at the 1260A fast dump from the heim column limit.
 +
Discussed adding a pressure relief solenoid valve for operations to keep the temp in the coils low if there is a refrigerator event. This will be looked at later for physics operations.
 +
 
 +
Decided to start field mapping the beam centerline location at 1000A - calibrate the hall probe using the NMR
 +
 
 +
Use 60hz filter for GFD as suggested by Bob Flora.

Meeting Minutes

Discussed minutes from last mtg. With the new power supply ramping procedure, we see no voltage spike on going from zero current.

The current is lagging behind what it should be during the programmed ramp up. May be due to resistance in magnet with PS set to inductive or the PS not balanced to 25H. Will do further testing without magnet hooked up. Possibly change algorithm.

Bill Schneider raised question of 1360A with dewar is slightly below .9K margin. Do we wish to do it?

Discussed the timing of the cooldown and testing - see "Path Forward" section below. Jonathan working on plan to allow liquid levels to drop to allow more time for superconducting testing.

The minimum current for commissioning should be 1200A (by Aug 9)- do we do a full mapping at this current?

Tuning PS to 25H - Decided to borrow a spare board from Hall C sister PS and test in our PS. If it works, modify the spare board according to Danfysik instructions. When it is ready, make decision on whether or not to implement.

Decision to change allowable voltage rise in the hardware QD to 500 mv. Also, the software QD integration time will be increased to 250msec for 100 mv limit. George will update rev. D of the procedure with high current running and these QD limit changes.

Probir calculated the max current at which we can add a Dewar to the system based on a 5K limit (with .9K margin). This would be 1200A

We discussed the pressure rise possibility during a fast dump. George will look at what happened at the 1260A fast dump from the heim column limit. Discussed adding a pressure relief solenoid valve for operations to keep the temp in the coils low if there is a refrigerator event. This will be looked at later for physics operations.

Decided to start field mapping the beam centerline location at 1000A - calibrate the hall probe using the NMR

Use 60hz filter for GFD as suggested by Bob Flora.
