nQPS BS: Cold Splice Protection and Measurement
Data Source and Current Statistics I
TE-MPE-TM 305/06/2012
Measurements: 3.5-4TeV Ramps with 1 hour on injection and 1 hour on the topCurrent Statistics: about 610 (2010-2012) resistance tables for the bus bars (interconnects) about 200 tables for the internal splices (magnets)
Data Source and Current Statistics II
Splice Protection:- 2048 LHC Main Magnet interconnections;- about 10300 superconducting joints or splices;- 2x2048 nQPS DQQBS boards (A&B);- U_RES > 500µV (83nΩ@6kA) => EE triggered;- measured voltages are stored to Logging DB (5Hz);
Splice Resistance Monitoring:- long enough 3.5-4TeV ramps are detected and analyzed (in automatic way);- resistances are calculated taking into account only plateaus points and saved to csv-files;- warning message (e-mail and sms) are generated if any bus resistance is more than 20nΩ;- second level of warning if resistance is out of 10 sigma range of last saved statistics (noisy boards detection so far);
Injection ~2h20 hours 3.5-4TeV

RB Bus Bar Segments
RQ Bus Bar Segments
Since each bus-bar segment contains n splices it is not possible to measure the resistance of an individual splice. However, one can estimate the maximum splice resistance in a segment assuming that the excess is localized in one splice only, so Rspl,max = Rsegment – (n-1) * Rspl,avg, where Rspl,avg is the average splice resistance.

Maximum and Average Splice Resistances
* In case of quads the number of splices per segment is corrected due to the specific design of the protection voltage taps .The correction estimated by comparing the resistances of 6 and 8 splice segments is about 2x0.20 nΩ.

LS1 Quality Assurance open questions
-What will be the criterion to remake a cold splice?
- If it is a simple threshold like 1.2nΩ, which is 3Ω for quads, what about dipole distribution tale? They are safe?
- What is a nature of the left part of distributions?- Is it measurement error or there is a “platinum” category of joints?
Thanks to Higgs we have additional 2-3 months to answer. Any ideas welcome.

Thanks to ELQA-team for the RQ bus bar resistance measurements in sector 23 during last TS#2, which was additional to the planned magnet resistance measurements. The detailed results will be presented by them later.
