[Dsg-hallb_magnets] Hall B Torus - issue?

[Tyler Lemon]

Hi Ruben,


Looking back at other ramps to zero, it doesn't seem that the LHe LL always decreases whenever the Torus is ramped down.


Also, from the archived data, the LL dropping to ~65% has happened previously with no interlock trip.


I'm still having PLC connectivity issues so I haven't been able to look at the PLC yet.


Best regards,

Tyler

Tyler,


Another thing to check is to see if the Helium level does this every time the magnet ramps up or down - which it might do as AC loss heating in the leads and splices boils off Helium in the reservoir.

Hi Ruben,


I'm trying to look at it on the PLC but my computer is opening the program really slowly.


While I'm waiting, I looked at the archived signals (plot attached) for the interlock (blue signal), Torus current (yellow) and LL8120DP (pink, plot units are for LL8120DP).


It looks like the interlock first tripped when the Torus was at ~-200 A while it was ramping to 0 A.


At that time, LL8120DP dropped from ~71% to ~65% and has since returned to ~70%. It seems that the Helium screen is clear because the signal has probably gone back above its alarm limit.


I will verify this once the PLC program loads and I can connect to the PLC.


Best regards,

Tyler

Nick, Tyler,


Dan Carman has run both magnets down. However, when the Torus got to about 100 A, it went into a controlled ramp down. Examination of the interlocks suggests a cryogenic 'issue'.


See screen shot below. But examination of the Helium screen does not appear to show any anomaly. Could one of you have a look at this to see what this could be due to?


Regards


Ruben
