Hello,
I had a ZFCT chassis fail in November of 2010 on one of our Moeller
Power Supplies (8000A 40V). As our spare needed a mounting bracket that
wasn't included, I robbed the chassis from an unused supply (the
downstream Moeller because we are running TPE) . Upon asking DynaPower
for repair/replacement, I was met with some ambiguity and they would
look into the problem. Today I talked with Peter Abele, the Senior
Sales Engineer, and his message was that they are still in the power
supply business but they can no longer repair or manufacture the ZFCT
chassis' or heads. He will work with us on a long term solution of
trying to retrofit something (undefined as of yet) or using shunts if
the accuracy is sufficient.
This message may impact anyone that needs to support a box supply from
DynaPower. At present Hall B does not have a spare ZFCT chassis. After
I get a bracket made, I will need to test the unused spare, to ensure we
can use both Moellers for upcoming experiments. If anyone has a ZFCT
chassis that I can use as a spare, please let me know. If anyone knows
of options that we can utilize in the short or long term, please let me
know. Its important for Hall B to understand that this may affect
experiments in the future as we have no spares at present.
These supplies are to be used through the 12GeV upgrade and a long range
solution is needed.
I will advise as more details become relevant, and please forward this
message to concerned parties.
Regards,
Krister Bruhwel
