1. MBHSP109 and MBHSP107
29 May 2019, Gerard Willering

2. SP109 test goal and program
Magnet not connected for powering.
Only HV test between quench heaters, coil and ground
Each QH seperately connected, so HV test can be done for each heater strip seperately.
Use HFM test station
Connector in He gas for QH has been replaced.
Test station tested at 5 kV in air between QH leads, Leads and ground.
Goal 1: Find in a non-destructive way the leakage current up to specified levels.
In all cases do a charge/discharge test between each QH circuit and ground.
300 K – 500 V
1.9 K – 3.4 kV
Goal 2: Find the coil limit
Find in a non-destructive way the leakage current up to specified levels.
After meeting comment: Discuss in more detail with Felix and Jan. In principle a few temperature levels between 80 and 300 K, with 1.5 kV at 200 K as reference level.
Three connectors.
Possible limiting point connector in pizzabox
Note that only 1 cool down and warm up is foreseen and that we have to prioritize the tests that are important due to a very busy schedule in June.

3. Test program SP107 Recap SP109 mid plane segments:
Main goal: Verify long term behavior, looking at performance indicators.
Recap SP109 mid plane segments:
Each thermal cycle: VI curve shifted, coil performance limit reduced.
Following many current cycles: no change
Following quenches: no change
Following high QI tests: small reduction of coil performance limit above 16.5 MA2s or about 320 to 340 K.

4. SP107 history
Short training campaign
Thermal cycle
Not pushed beyond ultimate
No V-I curves
No particular issues revealed with this magnet.
The only measured performance indicators are:
Quench at 4.5 K at 10 A/s
RR studies to coil limit at 200, 300 and 400 A/s at 1.9 K.
4.5 K limit of 12.3 kA would suggest a 1.9 K limit of about 500 A beyond ultimate current.
Thermal cycling, see by Jan Petrik
After SM18 tests, 10 thermal cycles in Liquid Nitrogen were performed in Cryolab
300 K to 80 K, delta Tmax = 78 K.
Dielectric strength tests performed at 660 V each cycle.

5. Test plan for SP107 Impact of thermal cycles is a main goal.
SP107 powering tests performed in HFM test station
SP109 powering tests performed in Long test station (Larger and less controlled temperature gradients)
Suggestion
Put SP107 first in HFM station, powering test, perform a second cool down, powering tests .
Then put it in the Long test station for a thermal cycle later to study a different cool down and thermal cycle gradients.
In this way we can conclude more on the impact of different type of gradients, and possibly link the SP109 degradation to the test station.
Note that this would delay MQXFS6 second tests and increase load on test station.
Focus on performance indicators, so each cool down:
Start with 1.9 K training to kA
4.5 K verification and V-I measurement up to coil limit of midplane turns
1.9 K RR studies (verify with earlier results)
1.9 K V-I measurements
High QI studies at end of last cool down.

6. SP107 test program in more detail
HFM test station available 17th June (after test of SP109)
Standard HV tests (1 kV QH-ground-coil)
Cool down, gradient < 50 K
1.9 K: training to kA
4.5 K: training (verification of coil limit)
4.5 K: V-I + holding current
1.9 K: ramp rate studies for comparison
Thermal cycle (should start by June 28th)
4.5 K: V-I verification
4.5 K: training and verification of coil limit (more difficult to compare retraining with first cool down)
4.5 K: V-I
1.9 K: training to kA (or do we want to go higher?)
Warm up (test station available for MQXFS6 by July 15th)
Depending of results and resources, repeat for a test in the Long test station (or try a high thermal gradient in the HFM test station)
