Improvements due to NE Transferline Vacuum pumping

2 hours 36 minutes ago
Log Number: 4477707Logbook(s): Body: 

During the CEBAF maintenance day the NE Transferline Insulating Vacuum (CTLis 115630) was pumped. The graphs show a reduction in CHL2_2K Cold Box inlet temperature and a reduction in the speed of Cold Compressor 4. The majority of 81kW in electrical power reduction is likely due to the improved vacuum. A minority of the power reduction is due to an oil injection adjustment of the main compressors to improve efficiency.

COMMENT ON RF Maintenance and Repairs for Physics Run 2026

2L10-8 Replaced the filament bd for filament volts high fault and still had same problem. Swapped cav. 7 with cav. 8 filament bds. and filaments still tripped with fil. volts high fault. Checked the back of HPA cabinet as well as all the connectors inside out and found no damage. Disconnected filament leads off interconnect board and measured cold filaments at .8 ohm which Sam says should be ok (normally ~2 ohms or less cold) . Had to re-bypass cavity 8, still stepped off, to bring the rest of the zone back into RF. More T/S next maintenance day.

2L11 Waveguide Air Pressure Degrading

2 hours 45 minutes ago
Log Number: 4477703Logbook(s): Entry Makers: alexsBody: 

When restoring RF in the South Linac after the maintenance day, 2L11 was found to have lost its waveguide pressure permissive. We checked locally and found it had dipped just below the trip point, suggesting a small, slow air leak somewhere in the HPA air lines. The regulator was adjusted to get it back above the trip point, and hopedully it will hold until it can be addressed on the next maintenance day. If not, a PTW and IC have been prepared in advance for troubleshooting.

Inspected both the CPS and HPA cabinets, did find a loose connection on the Mod Anode Load resistor which we re-terminated. Outside of that there weren't any signs of major issues. Also, replaced the broken fuse on the SCR controller (not the issue just utilized the opportunity).

2L10-8 Dropping filaments with Filament Vots High Fault

3 hours 20 minutes ago
Log Number: 4477694Logbook(s): Entry Makers: kernsBody: 

Put in new filament board and same Filament Volts High fault. Rechecked all connectors front and back and then swapped cav. 7 and cav. 8 filament boards and again had Fil. Volts High fault trip zone out of filaments with filaments going high to ~5.5 volts before ramp hit 10 seconds. Measured disconnected filaments after consulting with Sam for what they should read cold ~ 2 ohms or less. The filaments read .8 ohms which should be OK. Re-bypassed cavity 8 until further troubleshooting can take place. South locked up and in power permit so RF recovered in the rest of the zone.

COMMENT ON Troubleshoot VFV1L27 Controls

Log Number: 4477681Logbook(s): Body: 

Update:

Scope recorded a phantom "trigger" event that was immediately preceded by what looks like a ground bounce on the 15V rail.

Using a multimeter, I measured 10 ohms between the ground reference pin on the control card and the rack rails which are bonded to the MGC.

Plan to pull the control chassis for repair.
