Description
The main topic of this talk is the validation of the warm part of the
electrical circuit (power converters and DC cables) before powering
tests with the magnets. In the first part, reception tests and
installation of equipments are presented: reception tests of power
converters in surface halls, installation of the power converters,
installation and initial tests of the DC cables. Then the short-
circuits tests are explained and justified: why to do these tests,
which tests are requested, initial conditions for these tests, time
duration and human resources, what is the impact if some tests are
suppressed? Finally, the special tests during the powering tests with
the magnets are presented and discussed: current loops setting, first
powering of the dipole magnets and Inner Triplet circuits,
calibration of the high precision circuits.
