Major Events on HV Electrical cables Network
SPS 18 kV network
– 6 cable failures on the 18 kV network (Including the 4 ones mentioned by P. Sollander)
• 2 on the pulsed TI8 network, stop of the SPS machine (2001)
• 3 on the pulsed network, operation of SPS possible in open loop (1970)
• 1 failure on the SMB1, redundant network available (1970)
BEQ1 Compensator
– Failure on a 18 kV cable head of the BEQ1 feeder in BE substation, fortunately not in operation during failure period (2003)
RESTO 1 Meyrin
– Elastimold 18 kV elbow connector on a transformer powering the general services of Resto 1. (2001)
– Near miss failure detected tanks to the preventive maintenance and the reinforced visual inspections of the installation by the operation section.

Major Events on CERN HV cells
– ME24 cell explosion ( 1995)
• 10 days stop of the machines feed through the ISOLDE loop
– SE18 near miss ( 1995)
– Preventive action taken
• Problem limited to FLUAIR cell type on Meyrin substations and SE18
• Monitoring of temperature and humidity
• Systematic Partial Discharge (PD) corona effects measurements
• Visual inspection inside cells whenever accessible
Comments: In the past 5 years, 2 similar accidents and 3 near miss !
– ME59 switch closing failure during auto-tranfer exercise ( 1968)
• Design life time 25 years, continuous operation at CERN 41 years !
Comments: Remember the 29 July 2006, same type of equipment !
ME9 Jura substation ( 1968) critical installation

CASE 1: SPS joints crisis (4) - Repair
Corrective actions
• Repair of all joints that failed
Preventive actions
• Replacement of all joints
• Improvement of the shielding continuity across the joints
• 2 new joints for each repair/replacement
• Now we have 80 joints instead of 40

CASE 1: SPS shield currents
Preventive action
• 68/80 joints have a reinforced shield continuity
• Modified assembly procedure approved by joint manufacturer
Standard
Reinforced shield continuity
Signs of heating confirmed by the conclusions of the joints analysis
• This triggered a campaign to measure shields currents
• Sources and reasons not yet fully understood

SPS Consolidation – Short term work plan
From March 2009 till December 2010
• Install cables between BA6-BA6 (2X), BA1-BA2 (2X), BA2-BE (1X)
• Digging 6.6 km
• Prepare renovation of substations BA4 and BA2
• Define and implement scheme for parallel coupling of the BE-TI8 antenna with BE-BA4 pulsed loop
During shutdown 2010-2011
• Commissioning of installed cables
• Renovation and commissioning of substations in BA4 and BA2
• Installation and commissioning of parallel coupling BE-TI8 with BE-BA4 pulsed loop

BA4-TI8 network layout
Situation
• Power line added in 2004 to power the CNGS experiment
• On this line we also have the SPS stable network for BA4
• Not being part of a loop -> no redundancy for powering CNGS and SPS pulsed network in BA4
TI8
Consequences
• If a fault appears on this line (ex: joint to be replaced), one week of shut down minimum
Remedies
• Implement possibility to operate the TI8 line in // to the SPS pulsed loop from BE to BA4

SMB
Consequences
• If a fault appears on this line, one week of shut down minimum of the affected segment
How to proceed?
• 1) Receive guidelines whether to include these circuits in the EN/EL SPS consolidation mandate or:
• 2) as recommended by the ATC on 27th Oct. 2006 study and find procedures for a fast repair and shorten DTTR
Situation
• Old power lines affected by water treeing effect ( 1970)
• Failure rate going up with the time
• Operation is not 100 % redundant (see 4th ATC minutes 27th October 2006)
• Fully operated by TE-EPC, maintained by EN/EL

Failure location on HV network
Current procedure
• As soon as a failure is detected, ERDF (Electricite Reseau Distribution France) is contacted and they intervene on average within three days to precisely localize the failure.
Technique
• In most of t he cases reflectometry coupled with a pulsed surge generator.
Limits
• Time of intervention depends on availability of ERDF. Also to consider that EDF network diagnostic has priority with respect to CERN.
How to improve
• EN/EL has almost all the equipment to perform the same type of diagnostic
• A bit old but can be upgraded with a dedicated budget
• Today there are weaknesses on expertise, but if necessary on a short mid term period we can envisage to set up a EN/EL team for such diagnostic
What is needed?
• Dedicated personnel, time for set-up and time for training on real cases

CONCLUSION
Failures
• 6 out of 8 major failures or near miss are related to bad assembly of HV components
• For the SPS, except for the “joint crisis”, 2008 as not been a bad year, 2 faults due to aging cables. One affecting SMB. But…remember what we saw on the video!
• Cells and substations: let us not underestimate the status of ME59 and ME9
Serious problem of HV components assembly quality
• Identification of specialized firms in ongoing with good results
• In-house expertise must be improved in order to follow the execution of repair
High currents in SPS shields
• Require more time to investigate the sources of these currents
Consolidation of SPS 2009-2010 (assuming LHC will run over the winter)
• Installation of cables on two segments (BA5-BA6 and BA7-BA1)
• Re-configure substations in BA2, BA4 and improve the TI8 network layout
• Require solid budget and availability of sufficient and fully qualified personnel
• SMB: We need to know now what to do
• Failure location: there is room for improvement of the MTTR
