3. DEFINITIONS OF KEY PARAMETERS AND APPROACH TO THE

TEST PLAN

Figure 1 provides a schematic how to deduce the various voltage levels described in

this chapter

3.1.1 MAXIMUM MAGNET QUENCH VOLTAGE (Vq)

Vq is the maximum voltage developed in the superconducting magnet during quench.

Page 6: GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL … · TE-MSC group GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL TEST OF SUPERCONDUCTING ACCELERATOR MAGNETS DURING DESIGN

TE-MSC-MDT EDMS No:1264529

Page 6 of 40

Figure 1: schematic of the High Voltage test chain

3.1.2 EXTRACTION VOLTAGE (Vee)

When a quench is detected, the QPS system will open the circuit interlock loop and the

energy extraction switches. The maximum voltage seen in the circuit versus ground

will be at the extremity of the electric chain Vee.

3.1.3 MAXIMUM VOLTAGE REACHED DURING A QUENCH (Veeq)

Veeq=Vq+Vee. If there is no energy extraction Veeq=Vq. If not known Vee is to be

assumed to be equal to 450 V. This value is based on present LHC design practice.

3.1.4 VOLTAGE REACHED DURING GENERAL POWER ABORT (VGPA)

In the case of a global power abort, all the circuits of a powering sector are switched

off almost simultaneously and the energy extraction (ee) is activated in the entire

subsector. The maximum voltage, between two circuits running along the same path,

is reached at the bus-bars and may be the sum of the individual voltages for both

circuits Vee. In this document it is assumed that the voltage rises during a magnet

quench is not propagated through the bus-bar lines and it is limited to the magnet.

Vq • Starting point: quench voltage

Vmaxr

• Maximum reference voltage: assumed to be Vq plus 450 V+150 V (difference voltage between circuits/and or extraction voltage)

Vtql • Voltage for test qualification in liquid helium =1.2 Vmaxr

Vtqgas • Voltage for test qualification in He gas = 0.5 X Vtql

Vtfdel • Voltage in air equivalent to Vtqgas: Vtfdel = 3 X Vtqgas

ΔVcryo, ΔVcold

• Difference in voltage between 1st and last test during cold test and cryostating =0.1 X Vmaxr

Vtaf • voltage for final assembly test= Vtfdel+ ΔVcryo+ ΔVcold

Vtai • Voltage for initial assembly test= Vtaf+ 0.2 X Vmaxr

Page 7: GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL … · TE-MSC group GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL TEST OF SUPERCONDUCTING ACCELERATOR MAGNETS DURING DESIGN

TE-MSC-MDT EDMS No:1264529

Page 7 of 40

This voltage can be calculated directly by the ultimate current and the value of the ee

resistors. The max voltage reached during the General Power Abort is referred here as

VGPA. As for magnets under development it is not possible to determine the proximity

of other circuits, it is proposed here to increase the Veeq of an average constant value

(ΔVGPA). According to the present LHC experience (Table 6, page 23 of EDMS 788197)

in the worst cases the increase of test voltage, due the proximity of another circuit,

are of 200 V for the MQ circuit and more frequently 120 V for many N line circuits.

Therefore, on the base of the data reported in the previous mentioned document, it is

proposed here to assume constant value ΔVGPA equal to 150 V.

3.1.5 MAXIMUM REFERENCE VOLTAGE (Vmaxr)

The maximum reference voltage (Vmaxr) is therefore Vmaxr= Vq+Vee+ ΔVGPA . If the Vee

and ΔVGPA are not known, applying the assumptions proposed in the previous

paragraphs we get Vmaxr= Vq + 450 V+150 V. It has to be underlined that in this

scenario no faults of the QPS or of extraction system are taken into consideration,

faults that could bring to a further increase of the maximum reference voltage.

3.1.6 DESIGN WITHSTAND VOLTAGE (Vds)

The Design Withstand Voltage Vds is the reference minimum breakdown voltage for

which all magnet components, the magnets and their assembly (including later on

cryostat) shall be designed for. It shall be assumed that the voltage Vds shall be

withstood in pure He atmosphere, pressure 1 bar absolute and temperature 75 K.

The temperature has been assumed looking at which typical temperature the

maximum voltage is reached. Two cases (MQXC and HQ, Glyn Kirby and E. Todesco

private communications) have been taken into account. They provide a window

between 60 K and 90 K.

Single components shall be possibly tested in respect with this design value.

Vds=3 X Vmaxr +500 V (EDMS 90327)

In practice a single component (and not a magnet) to withstand Vds, in the above

mentioned He conditions, shall be able to withstand a breakdown voltage in air equal

to Vdsair=3.5 X Vds. Vdsair is therefore Design Withstand Voltage in Air

3.1.7 TEST VOLTAGE FOR CIRCUIT QUALIFICATION (Vtql)

Vtql is the test voltage chosen as test voltage in the document LHC-DE-TP-0007 for the

LHC circuit qualification in the step TP4-E (liquid Helium). Vtql=1.2 X Vmaxr

For the TP4-B and the TP4-D (He gas 5.5 bar 293 K and 80 K respectively) the test

voltage in gas (Vtqgas) is Vtqgas≤0.5 X Vtql. In order to be conservative we assume here

Vtqgas=0.5 X Vtql (coefficient applied for the presently installed Low Beta Quads)

3.1.8 TEST VOLTAGE FOR MAGNET FINAL QUALIFICATION (Vtaf)

As the magnets are tested in air, for their final qualification at the end of assembly,

(before delivery to cryostating and later to the cold test station), the final voltage test

after assembly Vtaf (Voltage test assembly final) shall be at least as severe, in air

condition, as the most severe test performed during the LHC qualification. The most

severe test in the machine is performed at a pressure of 5.5 bar pure He gas at 293 K.

The ratio between the dielectric strength of the He in that condition and air at 1 bar

293 K is 3.

As consequence Vtaf>=3 X Vtqgas.

It shall be taken into account that

Page 8: GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL … · TE-MSC group GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL TEST OF SUPERCONDUCTING ACCELERATOR MAGNETS DURING DESIGN

TE-MSC-MDT EDMS No:1264529

Page 8 of 40

1) after final magnet assembly the unit is submitted to cold test and possibly

cryostating

2) it is normal procedure to have the voltage test performed step after step at

decreasing voltage

In this document 3 main range of voltage are specified:

a) Vtai and Vtaf are respectively the initial test voltage during magnet assembly and

the final test voltage during magnet assembly. Vtai> Vtaf

b) ΔVcryo is the range of voltage between the first and the last voltage test during

cryostating

c) ΔVcold is the range of voltage between the first and the last voltage test during cold

testing

We propose to assume

1) Vtaf=3 X Vtqgas + ΔVcryo + ΔVcold

2) ΔVcryo = ΔVcold = 10% Vmaxr

3.1.9 TEST VOLTAGE FOR MAGNET DURING ASSEMBLY

During magnet assembly several high voltage tests are repeated and they shall be

performed at decreasing voltage. It is assumed that the 1st initial assembly test is

performed at Vtai= Vtaf+20% Vmaxr

3.1.10 VOLTAGE COMPARISONS

The following lines demonstrate that the test voltage is just a fraction of the design

voltage in air

Vtaf= 3 X Vtqgas + ΔVcryo + ΔVcold= 3X 0.5 X Vtql + ΔVcryo + ΔVcold =3 X 0.5 X 1.2 X Vmaxr +

0.1 Vmaxr + 0.1 Vmaxr =

= 2 Vmaxr= 2 X Vdsair/10.5 -2 X 500/3≈ 0.19X Vdsair -340

Vtai= Vtaf+0.2 Vmaxr= 2.2 X Vmaxr= 0.21 X Vdsair-340

Here below a table for few selected cases for Vq and the conceptual scheme to

extrapolate the various test voltages. Test voltages are underlined.

4. DISCHARGE TEST (VdisBA, VdisAC)

The aim of the discharge test is to locate possible inter-turn weaknesses. It has to be

taken into account that, under the effect of the magnetic forces, the coil turns will be

compressed. This could lead to the deterioration into short of weak insulations spots

with large induced damages (see case of MB 3004).

In this document we propose to use the following indicative test voltage per coil turn

1) Single coil, pole and any tests before mechanical assembly of the coils:

a. 120 V/Turn if NturnX120V/Turn= VdisBA <5KV.

b. 5kV/Nturn if NturnX120V/Turn>5KV then we assume a global discharge

voltage of VdisBA=5 kV.

2) Pole before collaring with structure around poles and poles after collaring:

a. 100 V/Turn if NturnX100V/Turn= VdisAC <4.25KV.

b. 4.25 kV/Nturn if NturnX100V/Turn=VdisAC >4.25KV

It is important to perform coil tests at VdisAC also in the previous stages and before

applying VdisBA. This will allow recording the discharge curves, useful for the

understanding of later tests.

The test voltage decreases from step 1 to step 2 in order to perform tests at

decreasing voltages during the magnet assembly history.

4.1 OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THE INTER-LAYER VOLTAGE

In a typical multi-layers cosΘ pole the coils are counter wounded. This brings in

contacts, near the pole mid plane, the first and the last turn of the winding. The

voltage difference during the discharge test in this point will be equal to the full

discharge voltage (2 layers pole). This implies that, when poles are tested, it is

mandatory to verify that all the components that are foreseen in the magnet

assembly, to insulate the inner from the outer layer, are already assembled and if not,

to add an extra layer of insulation during the test. Reducing the discharge voltage is

not an option because it would reduce the inter-turn test voltage making the test

useless (Chart IV: air dielectric). It has to be remarked that during quench the same

turns will also see the maximum voltage difference Vq. If between the layers there is

not extra insulation foreseen in the design the discharge test shall be reduced to a

value comparable to Vq scaled to air: typically Vdis=3.5 (ratio dielectric air/He gas)X

1.2 (safety factor) X Vq. i.e. for Vq=250 V, Vdis= 1kV. Max value 5 kV

5. QUENCH HEATERS (Q.H.) TEST

5.1 Q.H.: HIGH VOLTAGE TEST TO THE COIL

According to the document EDMS 788197 the voltage for the High voltage test of the

Quench Heaters vs. coil on liquid helium Vmic-c is given by

Vmic-c=1.2X(Vq+900V)

In this test coil and ground are shortened together

The Vmic-c value is limited for practical reasons to a max level of 2 kV

The indicated 900 V is the voltage provided by standard LHC Q.H. power supply (The

voltage seen by a quench heater in case of a discharge is +/- 450 V, but in case of

failure of a DQHDS, it could be 900 V and this value it has been assumed as reference

for the tests).

Page 11: GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL … · TE-MSC group GUIDELINES FOR THE INSULATION DESIGN AND ELECTRICAL TEST OF SUPERCONDUCTING ACCELERATOR MAGNETS DURING DESIGN

TE-MSC-MDT EDMS No:1264529

Page 11 of 40

For the warm test in He atmosphere, 5.5 bar, 293 K the value Vmic-w is limited to 600 V

and generally is 1/3 of the Vmic-c.

The test value in air shall therefore be 3.5 time the test value Vmic-w. This value is

reported below as VQH-coil.

Following the same scheme applied before this test voltage shall be increased in order

to cover the full assembly chain. Following this scheme it is possible to build the table

here below where (starting from the last test and coming back on the magnet

assembly line)

VtfQHdel : is the test voltage applied to the cryo-assembly before delivery to the

installation. It is assumed to be equal to VQH-coil

ΔVcryo, ΔVcold: these are the difference in voltage between the 1st and the last test

during cryostating and cold test respectively. They are assumed to be 10% of the

voltage applied by the Q.H. power supply and therefore 90 V

VtQHaf: this is the voltage to be applied for the last test along the magnet assembly

chain

VtQHai: this is the voltage to be applied for the 1st test along the magnet assembly

chain (VtQHaf- VtQHai is twice the ΔVcryo or ΔVcold therefore equal to 180 V)

Vq Vq Vq Vq Vq Vq

250 V 350 V 500 V 1000 V 1500 V 2000 V

VtQHai 1726 1845 2023 2340 2340 2340

Table II: Quench Heaters Key and test voltages computed in function of different Vq

We assume

ΔVcryo= ΔVcold= 0.5X(VtQHaf- VtQHai)=10%(900V)

In addition we propose to assume the design voltage and the component test voltage for the quench heaters as it follows:

1) Maximum test voltage at 5.5 bar 293 K: 660 V

2) Equivalent voltage to be withstood at 1 bar 75 K: 1000 V

3) Equivalent voltage to be withstood in air 1 bar: 3500 V (3.5 X 1000 V)

4) Design voltage in air: 2 times the voltage to be withstood in air: 7000 V

5) Component test voltage 5000 V

5.2 Q.H.: DISCHARGE TEST

The Q.H shall be discharged with the same power supply as foreseen for the future

magnet operation. If the foreseen discharge voltage is higher than 900 V to be added

to the Vq then the voltage test of point 5.1 shall be accordingly increased.

6. USEFUL INFORMATIONS

Useful information to compare He dielectric behaviours between room and cryogenic

temperature and in function of pressure are reported in the following attached charts

I, II and III. These charts are derived from the curve of the He breakdown voltage in

function of the product density by distance [“Paschen Curve of Helium” J. Gerhold

T.W. Dakin Electra, Vol. 52, pages 80-86 1977]. Then the density is derived in

function temperature and pressure from the He phase diagram, no approximation of

the ideal gas equation is used here. In the following table please find the He gas

density in a selected series of temperature and pressure pairs. In green the area

where the ideal gas approximation would be applicable.
