Natural quench
Find out quench origin (MB??, busbar, etc)
Analyse quench:
- Delay for Q detection
- Delay for heater firing
- Delay for start SC-n transition (induced by heaters)
- Delay for diode conduction
- Delay for PC abort and switch
- Compare VMB(t) and IPC(t) to calculated/expected RMB(t) and IMB(t) behaviour,
- Compare Q data with SM18 tests (in case of MB quench).
Verify possible quenching of busbar cable next to quenched magnet(s),
Analyse signal of quenched magnet for possible V oscillation. If present then:
- detect if all diodes are still OK
- perform HV test
- connect 1 MHz data acq. system to sick magnet
- perform quenches at reduced current
Analysis should give an answer if it is safe to power the circuit again!!!

Remarks
It is not sure if voltage oscillation (of a ‘sick’ magnet can be seen using a sampling frequency of
200 Hz.
A heater test at 760 A will probably not quench the magnet. No tests are made in SM18 at this
current level.
The total resistance of all (about 1700) splices in the circuit is rather unknown. I expect a value
between 350 and 900 nW. We should try to deduce this value by measuring the voltage
over all the magnets at several DC current levels (e.g. during the ‘current loop stability’
tests). The accuracy of this measurement is not known due to PC noise, voltage pick-up
noise, and possible current redistribution effects. It should be tried to give at least an upper
limit for the total resistance.
