The Powering to Nominal procedure was started fro the following circuits:
|
PNO.1 |
PNO.2 |
RCBCH5.L8B1 |
O |

RCBCv5.L8B1 |
O |

RCBYH4.L8B2 |
O |

RCBYHS4.L8B1 |

Several problems were faced:
- cryogenics instabilities which delayed the CRYO START signal:
- oscillating level on DFBMC
- high temperature on the first 6 kA in DFBMA (54 K)
- delay for PNO.2 step for RCBYH4.L8B2, whose origin was:
- hardware limitation of the PC, which blocked the cycle to 52 A; the PC went on fault and the current drop to zero (intervention of PO to remove the limitation)
- probably due to the problem just mentioned, a very long PM file was produced which was preventing the cycle from being restarted (manual reset of the PC was needed)
- RCBYHS4.L8B2 showed a possible NON-CONFORMITY: while preparing this circuit for PNO.1, a high voltage value was detected on a lead (250 mV); a verification of PO showed that this is probably due to an open voltage tap. The circuit has been removed from the SOC.
PROPOSAL FOR WEDNESDAY 23/05:
- continuation of tests on RCBCH5.L8B1, RCBCv5.L8B1, RCBYH4.L8B2 and RCBYHS4.L8B1;
- Powering to Nominal procedure for circuits RCBYV4.L8B1, RCBYVS4.L8B1 and RCBYVS4.L8B2;
- continuation of tests on Q4 and Q5 if released by MPP;
- continuation of tests on D2.
