Follow-up Re: Downtime Incident CREATED: 0L03-4 No Forward Power
Cavity #3 Klystron lost cathode current at recovery of the Injector after a controlled access. KMAV displayed a 0.700 Vdc reading when 0 Volts was requested. 0.700 Vdc on the Mod Anode should not have caused the drastic reduction in cathode current from ~ 1.2 A. to 0.23 A. Cathode current recovered to 1.21 A. after Filament Voltage was raised from 5.9 to 7.9 Vdc. It took about ~26 minutes for the cathode current to recover to the former value. This voltage increase should not cause any issues unless the Klystron has been damaged internally.
