3. LBNL/MICE: DC PATH [As Built] TDK/Lambda Genesys Series 20V @ 500A

4. Energy Absorber Assemblies Energy Absorbers –Required for slow ramp down of coils –2 absorber assemblies per power supply circuit 1 EA always dissipating power into air & water

5. Requires 2 nd Solid State Relay –~35A of in-rush when coils energized to close contactors Replacing 15 VDC PS with 24 VDC PS –Standard for Interlock systems –Requested by RAL Potential to stagger Contactor on signal to reduce instantaneous power peak

7. Prestemon – Pan September 13, 2011 Spectrometer solenoid quench protection Page 7 Protection circuit: test condition example Circuit with most stored energy If a quench occurs in E1: –Current shunts via diode+resistor across E1 –Coil current in E1 decays –Coil currents in neighboring coils increase Due to mutual inductance Generate bypass currents –Other coils either… Quench - very likely, due to quenchback Remain superconducting –Unlikely except for very low-current quench, when » significant margin is available »Energy in quenched coil is insufficient to boil off stored helium –Current continues to decay due to bypass resistance, but with very long time constant

10. Prior to the next Magnet Training test… Replace the main coil power supply unit, a Power Ten 20V, 330 Amp unit, with a new TDK/Lambda Genesys series 20V, 500 Amp unit. Validate calibration information programmed into all AMI-420 Controller/Power Supply pairs –Firm requirement for the new TDK-Lambda unit Install shunts to provide alternative coil current monitoring points –Data Acquisition using Keithley scanning Digital Multimeter –Read out over RS-232 to C&M system Reconfigure the AC input power for all rack electronics to operate on 208 VAC –Lakeshore 625 end coil trimming power supplies –AMI-420 Controllers –Keithley 2700 Scanning, to operate using 208 VAC single phase Full test of trimming power supply operation into short circuit –We need to verify that the Lakeshore PS can sink up to 45 Amperes acting as a bypass for the 2 end coils that need to run at a lower operating current than the center coil.
