Summary of Results

A peer review of the additional control and protection systems needed to complete power testing of the NCSX C1 coil with a known resistive line to ground leakage path was held.  A design was received that would establish an artificial null to minimize the potential at the known C1 coil leakage path, and to provide ground fault protection via a ground fault relay to be provided as shown in NCSX sketch B-4F1005. Voltage limiting schemes were presented and discussed.  Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV), added at both sides of the C1 coil, will clamp the coil voltage to 500 volts.  The test procedure will be updated to include warm/cold coil Megger at 1 kV, and the daily ECS operating routines will include a 500 V Hipot of the entire circuit before rectifier power is applied.  Also, monitoring points will be brought out of the cryostat to provide the ability to measure coil voltages at each terminal if required.  The review committee agreed that these systems should be implemented as presented.
