Measurements in SM18: Set-up • Two power converters in parallel, one providing the current level I_max and the other one providing a sinusoidal oscillation of ±4 V at a frequency sweeping between 30 and 2 kHz. • The gain-phase analyzer measures two differential voltages: one coming directly from the voltage taps of the dipole (Umag) and one proportional to the current flowing through the DCCT, ie through the dipole (Imag); this latter signal is acquired through an AC coupled differential amplifier with a gain of 1000. • Test without current (only Gain-Phase Analyzer and dipole, no PCs; frequency range: 1-20 kHz) • Tests at different I_max: 0 A ; 50 A ; 1 kA ; 2 kA ; 3 kA ; 4 kA ; 5 kA ; 6 kA . • Tests at different dI/dt(varying current): 0 A/s ; ±10 A/s ; 20 A/s ; 30 A/s ; 40 A/s ; ±50 A/s . • Tests measuring two separate apertures. • Tests measuring four separate poles. • Test after disconnecting Rparallel.

The measured Frequency Transfer Function (FTF) is not fitting with the expected one, and corresponds to parameters different from the nominal ones: • L 49 mH→ 35 mH • k 0.75 → 0.45-0.55 • Rparallel 100 Ω→ 80 Ω• R 10 Ω→ 30 Ω • The shape of the measured Frequency Transfer Function does not correspond to the expected curve calculated with the adopted electrical model. • Possible explanation: The model has been tailored on the measurements during Fast Power Aborts, when the main excitation frequency is ~28.5 Hz. Therefore it is possible that the model fits well the behavior of the dipoles, but only around 30 Hz. (see the qualitative example below: measurement, old model, new model) Comments on the results... -1 Emmanuele Ravaioli LHC-CM 11-11-2011
Development of a new electrical model of the dipole apertures, fitting their behavior in a wider range of frequency, and test of its capability to simulate the actual behavior of the dipole circuit. Such a model could be developed by fitting the curve of the impedance of an aperture without Rparallel , and may include the splitting of the inductance in 3 parts (4 free parameters: k1, k2, R1, R2). Fitting already started with Matlab. Comments on the results... -1b Emmanuele Ravaioli LHC-CM 11-11-2011
The AC inductance of the dipole even at low frequency (0.1 Hz) is about 35-40 mH, whereas the measured DC value is close to the nominal ~100 mH. This phenomenon has been observed in the past. The AC inductance was measured with two independent systems (without PCs between 0.1 Hz and 20 kHz; with PCs between 30 Hz and 2 kHz) with similar outcome. It would be interesting to perform this measurement also for the new configuration between 0.1 Hz and 30 Hz. (first attempt on Wednesday, still problems; Hugues is taking care of it). → At which frequency is the dipole changing its inductance? FTF almost independent on the current level (!) → Why do the dipoles exhibit a different behavior at different current? FTF almost independent on the current ramp-rate (!) FTF of the two apertures is very similar → Did we spot a perfectly balanced dipole? Comments on the results... -2 Emmanuele Ravaioli LHC-CM 11-11-2011
The measurement system seems to work fine, and the results have physical significance. • The initial problems related to the poor quality of the measurement of the DCCT current have been solved (Miguel). • Thanks to the SM18 team for the kind support! • Further Work • Measurements of the FTF with the current configuration (parallel PCs) between 0.1 Hz and 30 Hz. To be done modulating a sinusoidal signal with the large PC, and measuring the impedance corresponding to different frequencies (manually). • Repeat the same measurements on another available spare dipole, hoping to spot an unbalanced dipole. • Development of a new electrical model of the dipole apertures, fitting their behavior in a wider range of frequency, and test of its capability to simulate the actual behavior of the dipole circuit. Such a model could be developed by fitting the curve of the impedance of an aperture without Rparallel , and may include the splitting of the inductance in 3 parts (4 free parameters: k1, k2, R1, R2). Fitting already started with Matlab. • Enlightened by the new results and model, check that the expected change of FTF is theoretically visible (With the old model, changing R1,2 between 7 and 10 Ω leads to a difference of ~1 dB of the impedance of two unbalanced apertures... With the new?). • Analysis of the past FTF measurements (at cold, no PCs, 0 current). • Analysis of the measurements of the FTF of the whole chain of 154 dipoles (Report Interpretation of the TFM tests of dipole circuits, PJK (?), 5 March 2008), and comparison with the calculated FTF of the series of 308 aperture models.
