For the hall

  • UPS on Danfysik boards and contactor
  • may implement active isolation depending on test results
  • max ramp rate in the hall is 10V / 20H = 0.5 A/sec
  • do we need additional valves, check valves, bypasses, whatever?


Basic questions

  • what is causing blockage in vapor-cooled lead?
    • broken valve!
  • lag between field and current...are there turn-to-turn shorts in coil 1?
    • maybe short, maybe eddy currents
  • what worked, what didn't for coil 1?
  • what should we do differently for the next coil?
    • will we open up coils 3 and 4?
  • what might we consider doing differently in the hall?
    • do we want an independent review of our fast (and slow) dump strategy and system?
  • have we documented our experience?
  • sub-coil inductances
    • measure with inductance meter on the platform
    • inductance seen on splices
  • did we ever implement guard shack notification?
