Test plan for Coil 1

Test Plan for Coil 1

Note (Nov 17) Flushing out plan in D000000-13-13-P001 Rev A (p. 6 and 7 of document)

Preparations

1. 1. Connect magnet power leads to power supply
      
      • NOTE: If testing is interrupted for any reason, the following 4 steps must be completed immediately prior to resumption of testing.
      • Mark Stevens
   2. Cordon magnet test area using initial ANSYS analysis results as a guide to locate ropes. Post hazard signs at all entry locations.
      • Tom Carstens
   3. Remove all loose, ferromagnetic items from the test area
      • Tom Carstens
   4. Set red beacons with 5 Gauss bioelectric device limit at the 3 aisle positions (beacons turn on at 5 Gauss)
      • Personnel: Jennifer Williams ES&H, Tom Carstens. Note beacons have been calibrated to flash at 5 Gauss. Signage?
   5. Ensure LCW to power supply is turned ON
      • Mark Stevens
   6. Set Slew Rate to 0.25 A/s
      • Mark Stevens
   7. Clear all interlocks
      • Magnet operator (Jonathan?)
   8. Zero out the strain gauge readings at zero current. (Calibration in progress of a strain gauge of coil 2 @LN2 temp)
      • Mark Wissmann
   9. At HMI, set axial Heim column force limit to ±10,OOO Ib and radial Heim column force limit to ±7500 Ib
      • NOTE: At all current settings below, monitor the Radial Heim Column loads for evidence of radial offset of the coil center from the yoke center. Compare axial Heim Column forces to the table of expected force vs. current.
      • George Biallas to generate table of forces.
   10. Check slew rate
   11. Ramp magnet to 5 A for each of checked items below
       • Check interlocks via checklist
       • Behavior of interlocks at low current?
   12. Using field probe, check the Bfield at several locations to verify expected magnitude and direction. If necessary, adjust 5 Gauss, bioelectric device boundaries as necessary to match MEASURED field.
   13. Set magnet current to 0 A, wait for 0 A indication

Check turn-to-turn shorts

1. Set the measurement of the
   • current through the power supply (I, accuracy 0.1A)
   • the voltage on the power supply (U, accuracy 10 mV)
   • the induced voltage on flux coil (V, accuracy 10 microV)
   • the longitudinal magnetic field at the center (B, accuracy 0.1 mT)
   • All measurements sampling rate of >10Hz.
2. Ramp up the current at <0.3 A/s, to 10 A. Stay at 10 A. The expected 5 G contour is at about 2 m from the coil center. The walkways should be briefly blocked, the field measured in order to make sure they are below 5 G.
3. Analyze the ratio of B/I for the time interval of about 3 min (I would like to take part in it).
   • Deviations from B/I=const indicate a short.
   • Check for deviations of (dI/dt)/V for indication of short.
   • If a short is indicated - stop the current for awhile. Convey a meeting in order to assess the risks. A possible path forward is to proceed with the test with a lower ramping speed and leveling the current every 30 s, or so.
4. If no short is indicated - proceed to 150A. Analyze the results:
   • B/I, U in order to make sure that we understand the performance.
   • The field at the center should be about 0.14 T.
   • The expected 5 G contour is at about 3 m from the coil center.
   • The walkways should be blocked till the field is measured, the closest ones would probably show >5 G.
   • Measure the magnetic field in the area including the accelerator shielded room.
   • Analyze the strain gauges measurements.
5. Discuss the results before proceeding to the 1500 A, or lower current depending on the limitation from the accelerator cavity equipment.
   • If the results for 150 A are well understood - go ahead with about 150 A steps, stopping at each step and analyzing the results.

1. 1. Check DAQ and data format
   2. Check if data is ok, if not reset and ramp up to 50 A.
2. Ramp to 50 A, repeat field probe measurement and, if necessary, adjust personnel boundaries.
   1. Perform checkout of slow and fast interlock circuits with - DO NOT EXCEED 50 A.
      • Use checklist
   2. Repeat field probe measurement and, if necessary, adjust personnel boundaries
   3. Ramp to 0 A, wait for 0 A indication
3. Testing to high currents
   1. Set ramp rate to 1.8 Amps/Sec
   2. Test for turn-to-turn shorts - do not exceed 100 A.
   3. Perform a sweep of the test area to locate and remove any ferromagnetic materials
   4. Ramp to 1000 A in steps of 100 A, repeating field probe measurement and adjusting 5 G boundaries at each step.
      • Record a screenshot of stabilized strain/force values at each step
   5. Repeat field probe measurement and, if necessary, adjust personnel boundaries
   6. Gradually ramp the current up to 1500 A. The steps should be 50 A with a pause of 10 minutes at each step.
      • Watch carefully for indication of force reversals above 1000 A
      • Record a screenshot of stabilized strain/force values at each step
      • Repeat field probe measurement at each step and adjust personnel boundaries as required
   7. Set magnet current to 0 A, wait for 0 A indication
   8. Ramp to 1500 A
   9. Trip a fast dump
