LQ Quench Protection – G. Ambrosio 8 LQ DS video Mtg – May. 23, 2007 How to get margin for safe LQ test? –100% heater coverage with 4 independent circuits per coil to be ~safe in case of failure (easier heater manufacturing, see LR) –Shorter detection time and/or heater delay time? Heater design, and QP system upgrade –Larger dump resistance? Hard at 1.9K: with 60 mohm we have ~ 1 kV at the leads Possible at 4.5 K: could go up to 75 mohm –Lower RRR in order to have shorter detection time? …risky… –Improve/upgrade VMTF Quench Detection System: Low threshold * small time: in order to avoid trips induced by spikes Capability of changing QDS threshold easily during tests YY?NYYY?NY LQ quench protection with TQ-like coils is challenging but doable at 4.5K

LQ Quench Protection – G. Ambrosio 16 LQ DS video Mtg – May. 23, 2007 New QDS … in progress FPGA-based system: It is firmware running in a PXI board, and it does not depend on an operating system such as VxWorks, Linux, or Windows. Note that you already depend on this approach for VMTF quench detection and protection: in the current VMTF system, the Quench Logic Module (QLM) logic is programmed in firmware, and you depend on this module to perform properly to protect a magnet. This can really simplify the complexity of the system, as we have seen with the Stand 3 example. It can also make it easier to implement the type of adaptive logic we discussed during the meeting. Of course we need to discuss what level of redundancy or analog backups we need for risk mitigation.
