Test Results for PFN Capacitors and both PFN and RCPS Damping Resistors for the CERN LHC Injection System

Michael J. Barnes and Gary D. Wait TRIUMF

ABSTRACT This design note describes the results of high voltage and high current pulse tests carried out on capacitors and damping resistors for the CERN LHC Injection PFN. The goal of the tests was to compare the reliability and stability of capacitors and resistors from two different manufacturers. In addition the design note contains the results of pulse tests carried out on HVR damping resistors for the RCPS. The capacitors compared are from Norfolk Capacitors Limited (NCL) and ZEZ Silko: based on these test results the capacitors from both manufacturers have similar stability characteristics. The resistors compared are from Kanthal Globar and HVR International: it is recommended that resistors from HVR be purchased for the series of PFNs and RCPSs. 1

Introduction

The European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) is constructing a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to be installed in an existing 27 km circumference tunnel. The LHC will be equipped with fast-pulsed magnet systems for injecting two counter-rotating hadron beams. Two pulsed systems, of 4 magnets and 4 (28 cell) pulse forming networks (PFNs) each, are required for this purpose. Each system must produce a kick of 1.3 Tm with a flattop duration of 5.76 µs or 7.8 µs [1], a rise time of 900 ns, and a fall time of 3 µs. The ripple in the field must be less than ±0.5%. The energy in a PFN is provided by a resonant charging power supply (RCPS). Each resonant charging system requires a 2.56 mF storage capacitor bank charged to 3 kV. Two series thyristors are used to switch the energy on the capacitor bank onto the primary of a 1:23 stepup transformer of low leakage inductance. The output of the secondary is transferred to two PFNs through two coaxial cables, two stacks of 44 series diodes and two 70 Ω charging resistors. Capacitors, inductors and resistors are used to build 9 PFNs of 5 Ω characteristic impedance, made of two lines of 10 Ω each, connected in parallel. The PFN is charged within 1 ms to a positive voltage of 66 kV, using a RCPS, and then discharged into a load 2 ms later by high power thyratron switches, to produce a square pulse of up to 7.8 µs duration. The minimum repetition period is 5 s. The stability and pulse-to-pulse reproducibility of the PFN voltage must each be maintained to a precision of better than ± 0.1%. The equivalent circuit of the LHC system is given in Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. Equivalent circuit of an LHC injection system, not including RCPS.

The type 1 capacitors will be arranged in two parallel 10 Ω lines of 27 units each (the 27 does not include a trim capacitor for capacitor C2). The PFN capacitors will be mounted vertically, in individual cylindrical coaxial housings. One inductance coil will be connected to the top of the capacitors in each line and shielded by a screen. A PFN damping resistor will be connected in parallel to each individual coil inductance. The whole PFN will be housed in a tank filled with silicone insulating fluid. A detailed description of the design of the PFN is given in references [2-9]. Each 28 cell 10 Ω PFN line consists of 26 seven-turn cells (L in Fig. 1), a five-turn cell at the DS end (L” in Fig. 1), and a nine -turn cell at the MS end (L’ in Fig. 1). A cell consists of a series inductor, a damping resistor connected in parallel, and a capacitor connected to ground. The PFN capacitors must be high stability discharge capacitors rated at 66 kV. For the nine 5 Ω 28 cell PFNs, a total of 560 pieces of Type 1 capacitor (19 nF±5%, i.e. 18.05 nF to 19.95 nF) were 1

required [10]. A total of 53 (26 capacitors per 10 Ω line, times 2 lines, plus 1 back cell) Type 1 capacitors are required per 28 cell PFN. A damping resistor is connected in parallel with each cell of a PFN line. Two Type 4 resistors (each 33.4 Ω ±5%) are connected in parallel with the cell at the MS end of each PFN line to give a total resistance of 16.7 Ω±2% [11] (Rp4 in Fig. 1). One Type 3 resistor (157 Ω±5%) is connected in parallel with the cell adjacent to the MS end cell (Rp3 in Fig. 1). One Type 2 resistor (80 Ω ±5%) is connected in parallel with the cell adjacent to the DS end cell (Rp2 in Fig. 2). A Type 1 resistor (100 Ω±5%) is connected in parallel with each of the other 25 cells in a 28 cell PFN line (Rp1 in Fig. 1). Sample Type 1 PFN capacitors, and Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and Type 4 PFN Damping Resistors have been ordered and subject to tests at TRIUMF. This design note shows the results of tests carried out at TRIUMF, using the test set-up and procedures described in TRI-DN-99-03 “Testing of PFN Capacitors And PFN Damping Resistor Samples For CERN LHC”. The present design note describes the results of high voltage and high current pulse tests carried out on capacitors and damping resistors for the LHC Injection PFN. The goal of the tests was to compare the reliability and stability of capacitors and resistors from several manufacturers. The test set-up and procedures are described reference [16]. In addition the present design note contains the results of pulse tests carried out on HVR damping resistors for the RCPS.

History of Resistors in Prototype and Test Equipment

2.1 RCPS Damping Resistors A bank of 4 parallel 70 Ω damping resistors is connected across the primary of the transformer [12]. In the prototype RCPS these resistors were type 887AS700JN from Kanthal Globar [13]. After 1.15 million pulses (60 kV operation) at 0.1 Hz (email of October 8, 1999), two of these resistors had changed in value by approx. 1%; one had increased by almost 26%, and the fourth was a very high value (880 kΩ). 2.2 RCPS Bleed Resistor A 300 kΩ Kanthal Globar bleed resistor, connected in parallel with the storage capacitor bank, in the prototype RCPS failed to an open-circuit during 1-million+ cycles. 2.3 Dummy Load Charging Resistors The Kanthal Globar charging resistor in dummy load #1 increased in value by almost 10% during 1-million+ cycles. The Kanthal Globar charging resistor is an 18" long resistor. 2.4 Type 4 PFN Damping Resistors The main switch end cell of each PFN line has two parallel Type 4 PFN damping resistors. In the prototype PFN these were pencil type resistors from HVR [15]; these pencil resistors did not have sufficient cros s sectional area for the current rating and therefore failed during testing of the prototype PFN. 2.5 Spark Gap Circuit for Testing PFN Capacitors and PFN Damping Resistors An 18” long 1 MΩ charging resistor from Kanthal Globar, used in the spark gap circuit for testing PFN capacitors and PFN damping resistors, cracked and failed to an open-circuit.

Acceptance Criteria for PFN Capacitors and PFN Damping Resistors

PFN capacitors should not change in value by more than 0.1% as a result of the individual tests (section 6.1.1 of TRI-DN-99-03). PFN damping resistors should not change in value by more than 1% as a result of the tests (section 6.2.1 of TRI-DN-99-03).

Z7: weak point in polypropylene caused the short circuit of internal element (see e-mail from Josef Sindelar dated July 16, 1999). All five of the sample capacitors that were acceptance tested at 100 kV for 120 s passed the tests at TRIUMF. Therefore, for the main batch of capacitors the routine test voltage was increased in value and duration from 100 kV for 20 s to: •

100 kV for 120 s (=> 120 V/µm; PP foil rated at 150 V/µm DC: ref. email of August 4, 1999)

Conclusions re PFN Capacitors

Table 1 summarizes the test results for the PFN capacitors from ZEZ Silko (RUDJS 1-66/19). Although one of the internal capacitor elements of one of the ZEZ Silko capacitors failed, the stability of these capacitors is very good. Table 2 summarizes the test results for the PFN capacitors from NCL (Type EC2860, manufactured using foil): the stability of the capacitors tested is very good.

Conclusions re PFN Damping Resistors

The HVR Type 4 resistors are considerably more reliable than those from Kanthal Globar. The one HVR resistor which exceeds the 1% limit for cumulative change in resistance value is approx. 2% high after 3 million 30 kV pulses, whereas the Kanthal Globar resistors increase in value very rapidly when they start to change their value. Hence it is recommended that resistors from HVR be purchased for the series of

PFNs.

Tests on RCPS Damping Resistors

As a result of failures of the Kanthal Globar RCPS Damping Resistors (see Section 2.1), tests were carried out at TRIUMF on four resistors from HVR. The test conditions were as follows: a) 4 parallel 104ABA700J HVR resistors (each nominally 70 Ω ±5%) connected in RCPS damping circuit module; b) GTO unit used so as to be able to turn on and off current pulse. Pulse width selected to be 600 µs. c) 2.6 mF storage capacitor bank charged to 2490 V (8.30 on 3 kV FUG power supply); this voltage would give a PFN voltage of 60 kV on two 5 Ω PFNs each of 28 cells. d) Stangenes transformer disconnected from circuit so that 2.6 mF discharges only into damping circuit (for 600 µs per pulse). e) Repetition rate chosen to be 0.365 Hz (1 pulse every 2.74 s), which gives a total power dissipation of 80 W (i.e. 20 W per 70 Ω resistor). Note: the nominal total dissipation in the 4 parallel resistors, for 66 kV operation at 0.2 Hz, is predicted to be 53 W, i.e. 13 W per resistor; however HVR indicated that, for our application, these resistors should be OK at 20 W each, allowing us to accelerate the life test. f) Test performed for just over 1 million pulses. During the tests the four HVR resistors all increased in value slightly over the 1 million pulses: the minimum increase was 1.54% and the maximum increase was 1.74%. Therefore the RCPS Damping Resistors from HVR are considerably more reliable than those from Kanthal Globar. Hence it is recommended that

resistors from HVR be purchased for the series of RCPSs.

Appendix 1: Detailed Test Results for HVR Resistors

The following tables detail the measurements carried out on the HVR PFN damping resistors. The date in the first column is the date the measurement in the second column was carried out. Following the measurement the resistor is subject to the conditions noted in the fourth column (“Comments”). Page numbers relate to ref. [14]. The third column of the table shows: • Percentage change in resistance resulting from the previous test (corrected for temperature effects using the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) noted in the table heading), • A cumulative percentage change in resistance resulting from ALL of the previous 30 kV pulse tests (corrected for temperature effects using the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) noted in the table heading). For clarity, this cumulative change is enclosed in parentheses. Table 8. H11 @ 1 kHz (Type 1, 100Ω±5%). TCR = −0.096%/°C. ∆ R and (Σ[∆ R]) 0 −0.28%

10.1 Appendix 1.2: Summary of change in value of HVR Type 4 resistors during storage. Five Type 4 HVR PFN damping resistors were sent to CERN at the end of July 1999, for testing in the prototype PFN. The values of these resistors were recorded before shipment. Three of these resistors have been stor ed in air, at CERN, and have not been pulsed. These three resistors were re-measured on February 21, 2001, at CERN, using a Fluke PM6306 meter. Table 21. Summary of resistance change for HVR resistors stored in ambient air. Resistor H5 H8 H10

Value before shipment (@ approx. 23°C) [July 1999] 33.667Ω 33.567Ω 33.697Ω

Change in Resistance Value +24.2% +23.6% +19.3%

NOTE: None of the three above type 4 sample res istors, H5, H8 or H10 have been heat treated in silicone fluid by either CERN or TRIUMF. Five type 4 HVR PFN damping resistors were kept at TRIUMF for pulse testing. These five resistors have not been in an oil bath following the completion of pulse tests; however the resistors were still wet with silicone fluid.
