Information on the Hall A Magnets
While the magnets and power supplies for the two arms are nominally
identical, the history of installation and repairs has made some slight
differences between the two arms. I have tried to collect the
differences in the
"specific"
sub-folders in each magnet type folder.

This provides an overview of the system. Specifics for the power

Power Supply Schematics
Schematics and physical outline of the FUG power supplies with
notations in english. The
english translation is not the best, so be prepared to have to do some
interpreting
of your own. I traced out the Left Q3 schematics for each of the
control modules. Heidi and I made corrections to the schematics and
verified the wiring on the "backplane" connectors. Notations were added
to the schematics to try to make the schematics more useful. The Fast
Electronics Group looked at some of the modules from the other three
FuG power supplies and found them to be "electrically identical". That
is, any visual differences are strictly cosmetic. Jumper wires
serve the same function but are run to different points on the board,
for example. I did a cursory examination of the boards and found this
to be true, also. So, we are using
the LQ3 schematics as the
reference schematics. Differences we are aware of can be
found in the
directories specific to LQ2, RQ3, and RQ2.

NTN Series Power Supply Operating Instructions
This is an english version of the operating instructions. The
english translation is not the best, so be prepared to have to do some

Power Supply Panel Layouts
The drawings of the exterior appearance of the power supplies. I'm not
sure what the last page is supposed to be. It does not seem to be
something
that is installed on the supplies; it appears to be the space
underneath the transistor banks and I assume it was the original water
supply connections for cooling the supply. The 480VAC main lines are
connected to the terminals in the bottom right of the drawing.
- EPCT
Instruction Manual
The EPCT module, manufactured by Eukontrol, is a variant of the zero
flux current transducer.
- EPCT
Schematic
This is the EPCT circuit as I was able to trace it out. It is not a
schematic
provided by the manufacturer.
- Data
Sheet for Manganin Wire
The FuG schematics claim this is the wire used to make the resistors on
the transistor banks.
- Data
Sheet for the Polarity Reversal Switch
The power supply is a dual quadrant supply, it only puts out one
polarity of voltage and sinks and sources current. To get the opposite
voltage polarity, and current flow, one needs to swap the connections
to
the load.
- Mass Flow Meter Readout
These are the meters that monitor the cold gas flow over the leads
that make the warm to cold temperature transistion
- Short Breakout Rack
This rack has the cable breakouts mounted internally, the isolation
modules
for a couple of the signals, and the mass flow meters.
