Conclusions
• Using existing C-site Rectifier supplies for First Plasma is cost-effective for powering NCSX coils
• Existing AC power distribution system at C-site will feed other loads & have been used for PBX/PLT
• Technical & cost risks is minimal – Since this is standard electrical work– Cost is based on industry feedback & PPPL experience
on past projects– Is performed by experienced personnel. – Careful planning will mitigate schedule risk– Highest priority to Personnel Safety
