Description
About the lecture:
Electrical failures in superconducting circuits can cause severe damage to the equipment and even lead to personal injury due to high operating currents. Often a significant energy stored in the magnetic field generated by the superconducting magnets becomes an additional risk factor.
The lecture will cover various topics related to electrical integrity tests and electrical failure diagnostics, using examples gathered by Electrical Quality Assurance Team during 20 years of experience in electrical testing and nonconformity investigations of the Large Hadron Collider superconducting circuits.
Participants will learn about commonly used types of electrical tests, selection of test parameters, proper management of measurement data, how to troubleshoot electrical failures, and develop a comprehensive plan for electrical testing and diagnosis.
This lecture is designed for people working with superconducting circuits, as well as those involved in the design, manufacture, and maintenance of equipment that utilizes superconducting magnets and bus bars.
