For the hall

• note that max ramp rate in the hall is approximately 10V / 20H = 0.5 A/sec
• should we install a UPS on the Danfysik contactor and control boards?
• do we need additional valves, check valves, bypasses, whatever?
• do we need Dataforth voltage attenuators on coil tap channels?
• do we need active isolation of coil tap channels, etc?
• should we monitor all circuit breakers?

Basic questions

• lag between field and current...are there turn-to-turn shorts in coil 1?
  • maybe short, maybe eddy currents...
• will we open up coil 3 and/or coil 4?
• do we want an independent review of our fast (and slow) dump strategy and system?
• document our experience!
