  1. The Babar IFR Low Voltage System Naples, 12/15/1997 Electronic review

  2. Requirements • The FEC’s for the IFR include @ 3200 boards to do discrimination, pulse shaping and address encoding. • The FEC’s are located as close as possible to the pickup electrodes not to spoil with long cables the good time resolution of the RPC’s • FEC’s come in two flavors, as induction electrodes are on both sides of the RPC’s. • Power consumption is different by @ 20% : positive input FEC’s use more power than negative. • Two voltages are needed : +7 and -5.2 V • Typical consumption are: +.31/-.12 neg.. Fec’s +.37/-.16 pos. Fec’s • Total power drawn: @ 8KW (+7) , 2.5 KW(-5.2) • Corresponding currents : 1100 A (+7) , 450 A (-5.2)

  3. Design Philosophy • Given the amount of current to be supplied, locate power modules relatively close to utilization. • Use a relatively high number of power modules so that (unlikely) failures would bring down a limited part of the IFR. • Select a very reliable product (MTBF >40,000 h) • Use a connection scheme in which each board is independently attached to L.V.: most of the barrel boards in fact cannot be reached without opening BaBar …. and this is not even enough.

  4. Power supply selection • The devices we have selected are produced (almost custom) by Power Control System: • Models chosen come in two types: 400W or 100W (output power). • The MTBF quoted by the manufacturer is 80,000 h and 100,000 h respectively. • At full power e = 75% (see Tech data sheet) • Other features include • Forced ventilation for the 400 W model • 95 oC shut-off • TTL/CMOS ramp down/up capability • Primary current limit @ 30 A for the 400 W model • Line regulation better than 1% • Load regulation better than 1% . • Calibrated shunts to measure output currents.

  7. Power clusters • The maximum number of boards to feed is : • 1536 barrel • 864 backward end cap • 924 forward end cap • The spatial distribution of the boards forces the use of power cluster for each subsystem. • We have planned 2 power clusters for the barrel on each (East and West) platform, and one power cluster on each half endcap. • The barrel power clusters consist of two 6U crates (Barrel Supply Power Modules)which contain 3 7V/400W modules and one -5.2V/400W module. • The end-caps power clusters consist of ; 1 6U crate containing two 7V/400W modules and three -5.2V/100 W modules (HPSM) and 1 3U crate containing 1 7V/400W module and 1 -5.2/100W module. • The total power capability installed is 9.6 KW @+7V and 3.2 KW @-5.2. The power margin is about 20%. • Power dissipation of the cluster: 800 W barrel 400W end-caps.

  10. Boards power distribution • It is highly desirable to have individual (dis)connect of the boards, even if each of them is fused on the two voltages ( and crow-bared on the +7). • Very reliable connection needed (@ 10,000 connections to do) ß • Use faston connections for individual boards inside iron gaps. • Boards from the last three layers in the barrel and vertical strips in the end-caps are located in small crates on the outside of BaBar. • Power cables for the iron gap FEC’s go through the conduits used to extract signals, in separate compartments. Plenum rated cables (Belden parts # 83503) are used. • 12 conduits on each end (+z and -z) carry the cables to the outside world in the barrel and three conduits are used for each half end-cap.

  11. Boards power distribution (cont.) In the barrel each conduit has a fan-in/fan-out device sitting on top of the f wire-ways 24 (12 on each end) of those distribution points have to be equipped. One distribution point power 48 iron gap Fec’s (layer 1-16) and one minicrate (layers 17,18 19). One sextant is serviced by 2 distribution points connected to DIFFERENT power modules. In the end-caps, each half door has three distribution points for the iron gap FEC’s. (Each of these has to feed 72 negative FEC’s). All the positive FEC’s in the end-caps are in minicrates , so individual connection for series of those are foreseen. Distribution points were designed so that a max. current between 20 and 25 A would be split in them: this figure sets the gage for the interconnecting wires.

  17. Fast tour of components • 3 conductor cable Plenum Belden parts # 83053 • Faston and faston blocks AMP parts # • Metal containers for faston blocks • Connection wires to the power modules: • AWG 2 10 m. power supply distrib. Box • AWG 10 5 m. distr. Box barrel minicrates • AWG 2 5 m. power supply end-caps minicrates • Power supply modules • Crates 6U and 3U eurocrate standard with slides • Monitoring cables • buffer amplifiers to match GMB’s input range • Fan unities 12 (one per crate) • Solid state relay to remotely turn on crates • Din Rail power supplies switches and cables (12) • Interface for software turn-on.

  18. Installation schedule • Power supply modules: • 80% purchased; 70% at SLAC • Cables: • FEC’s connection purchased ; harness in production at Naples. • Supplies-distributors on hand (SLAC store) • Contact blocks: • purchased, being delivered at SLAC (Anderson) • Faston • purchased being delivered at SLAC (Anderson) • Crates • Purchased being delivered at Frascati • Some work to do on the to punch holes slots etc. ready by the 10th of January. • Prototype crate (BPSM) • ready with all the cabling /monitoring before Christmas. Few BPSM ready at SLAC by end of January.

  19. Conclusions • The low voltage system for the FEC’s is essentially designed; prototype is finished and production is ready to go. • In spite of the standard type of requirements, practical design has presented few challenges mainly due to the sizable amount of power one has to produce and distribute. • Solutions have been chosen to maximize reliability and ruggedness of the plant. • With our design we’ll be able to handle single boards connections from the outside of the detector . • Reliability of the active parts are well above the limit we could have tested with the RPC quality controls runs during production.
