• Cooling arrangements:<br />

Both, air cooling and water cooling can be used. In the case of air cooling all necessary fans<br />

are parts of the power converter.<br />

In the case of water cooling all water flow meters are included and all material of the<br />

cooling circuits must be suited for non conductive water.<br />

• Control and Display:<br />

All power converters for magnets are equipped with a high precision current measuring<br />

device, i.e. DCCT.<br />

Digital control algorithms are implemented whenever possible.<br />

Full manual control is possible at the power converter without external control system. Full<br />

remote control is possible. Therefore all electronics are included to communicate on a basic<br />

digital level with the external control system. The external control system must be able to<br />

load or read all parameters of the implemented control algorithm.<br />

Appropriate displays are provided to show the controlled quantities. Status and fault indications<br />

are mandatory.<br />

• Protection:<br />

The power converters must be self protecting from internal and external faults. There are<br />

fault detecting devices: for instance over current detection.<br />

There are fault clearing devices: for instance fuses and predefined actions.<br />

There are direct protecting devices: for instance voltage limiters.<br />

The power converter must protect the load:<br />

from overcurrent<br />

from overvoltage<br />

by predefined reactions to interlocks of the load such as temperature interlocks, water interlocks,<br />

quench detection signals.<br />

2.4.3.1.3 Locations of Power Converters<br />

The basic concept is to place all power electronics outside the restricted area of the beam transport<br />

system whenever possible. The advantages are:<br />

• Measurements, repairs and service are possible without accessing restricted areas, thus<br />

avoiding machine shut downs.<br />

• There is no waiting time to have access to faulty power converters.<br />

• There is no uncertainty on the influence of radiation on the proper operation of components<br />

of power electronics and on the impact on life time of the components<br />

• There is no need for automatic redundancy.<br />

2.4.3.1.4 Choice of Power Converter Circuit Configurations<br />

Every selected power converter configuration must fulfil the criteria listed below:<br />

• it meets the specifications<br />

• it is reliable<br />

• its circuit structure is as simple as possible.<br />
