GMPS Transductor UpgradesAnd Realtime B Field Measurement for Reference Magnet Kent Triplett, Xiaolong Zhang
Main Objectives • Back up present system. • Improve the GMPS stability and accuracy. • Improve the B-dot stability and accuracy. • Methods: • Commercial Current Transformer Upgrade • Hall Probe Realtime B field measurement system
Transducer Original Designing • The transducer in the in booster reference magnet measures the excitation current to the gradient magnets and thus regulate the GMPS system for the B:Imax and B:Imin. • The original designing was a current transformer of 1200A with a output of 1245A/10V. • It’s essential to Booster operation.
Evolution of Current Transducer • The transducer system was upgraded a few times to present of water cooled 7500A transductor and relatively new electronics of 7500A/43V. • The resolution and accuracy of the system is unknown. • There might be 720Hz noise signal present. (“In order to reduce the transmission line mode excitation, the power supply have been designed as 12-phase supplies with a basic ripple frequency of 720Hz” TM-405)
Proposed Upgrades • Since it’s critical for Booster operation, and it looks like we don’t have the spare, the backup or upgrade of the system is needed. • There are a few commercial current transformer readily available with modern electronics from Hitec, LEM/Danfysik and ZES . • Their specification (0 - 50KHz): • Accuracy: < 3 ppm • Output noise: < 6 ppm • Advantage of the upgrade: • Improve the accuracy of the GMPS current monitoring. • Better for the feedback/feedforward system.
Realtime B Field Monitoring • By measuring the B field during the cycle, we’ll be able to measure the optics more accurately. • It’ll give us another instrument for B-dot system backup. • Give more data for booster modeling and beam dynamics studying. • The available commercial product of Lakeshore 460 3-axial Gaussmeter will be a good option.
Benefits of These Upgrades • We could measure the real time main B field and gradient. • Build a better GMPS feedback/feedforward system (might be 4 additional 20A current feedforward system). • Improve the B-dot timing system to better synchronize the beam transfer and other beam diagnosing.
Pros: • $5575/unit. • Used in the lab • at beam line. • Cons: • 4-6 weeks delievery
