NCSX PS Control and Coil Protection

GENERAL

PS Control PLC will be provided for Controls (Mark Cropper)

– Modern PLC based system– Additional interlocks as needed– Some protective features included

PROTECTION Coil / Pwr. Loop protection provided (R. Marsala)

• Overcurrent (Built-in the Pwr. Supplies)• Ground fault (new)• Pulse duration & period (PDP) limit (new)



NCSX

COILS WILL USE built-in protection in C-Site Rectifiers enhanced by additional features.

PROTECTION LEVEL FOR PERSONNEL SAFETY SAME AS TFTR /NSTX.

KIRK- KEY LOCKS WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED AS NEEDED. ALL THESE WILL BE ENHANCED WITH ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS. MACHINE COILS BEING FED FROM C-SITE POWER SUPPLIES

OF LIMITED CAPABILITY AS COMPAREDTO COIL RATINGS. BUILT-IN PROTECTION IN POWER SUPPLIES ARE ADEQUATE. EVEN SO, THESE ARE AUGUMENTED THROUGH ADDITIONAL FEATURES

GROUND FAULT DETECTION AND PROTECTION WILL BE PROVIDED

NCSX - PROTECTION



NCSXNCSX - PROTECTION

A. C-Site Rectifiers Protective Features:• 1. Cooling water flow loss• 2. SCR Over-temperature • 3. SCR Junction temperature high• 4. Conversion transformers Primary Instantaneous Over-current• 5. Conversion Transformers Over-temperature• 6. Rectifier door interlock to trip contactor in case door is opened.• 7. Over/under AC Voltage conditions• 8. DC OUTPUT OVERCURRENT• 9. DC OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE• 10. MOVs & CR SNUBBERS TO SUPPRESS OVERVOLTAGE The settings of the currents in these units will be such that the coils

will not be overloaded.



NCSX• B. Additional Coil Protection based on PLC logic

• 1. Power Supply Arm permissive: • 1.1 Power supply enable command must be high• 1.2 Power supply must be enabled (contactor limit switch feed back)• 1.3 No thermal trip on corresponding coil.• 1.4 Corresponding disconnect switch ready permissive• 1.5 Corresponding disconnect closed• 1.6 Computer arm command high ( the computer arm command is issued TBD seconds

before the shot and removed TBD seconds after the shot. This can be bypassed by the operator)

• 1.7 Remote interlock – Coil temperature normal for start



NCSX

• 2. Power Supply Enable permissive: (COMMON TO TRIP ALL POWER SUPPLIES) - any one of these failures will trip all supplies)

• a) Pulse duration - Trip Power Supplies (PS) if there is presence of COIL current at a level (adjustable) for more than an adjustable duration of time. This is established by looking at the current.

• b) Pulse interval - Trip the power supplies if more than one pulse is imposed before an adjustable waiting period.).This is also established by looking at the current.

• Also failure of the following will remove the Power Supply Enable Permissive- thus trip the power supplies.

• c) PLC running- not faulted• d) Coil Cooling OK• e) All Power supplies in remote mode• f) Test Cell door interlock closed• g) RSView computer online (Programming/Operating computer for

AB PLCs)• h) No E-stop

•Additional Coil Protection based on PLC logic Contd.



NCSX

• 3. PLC Power Supply Enable permissive: (INDIVIDUAL TRIP TO AFFECTED POWER SUPPLY) -these trips will only trip the affected supply)

• a) Summed permissive from Power supply• b) No ground fault on power supply cable• c) 4160 KV breaker closed• d) No thermal trip on coil (this will prevent enabling but will not trip the

supply once it is enabled)• C. Pulse Duration & Period Timer.• 1. Pulse duration (If the pulse duration is more than an

adjustable setting, the permissive to the supplies will be removed). This is based on a Start of Pulse (SOP) command received, and WITHOUT looking at the current.

• 2. Pulse interval (If the pulse INTERVAL is more than an adjustable setting, the permissive to the supplies will be removed). This is based on a Start of Pulse (SOP) command received, and WITHOUT looking at the current.

• D. Ground Fault Protection: Coil Ground fault detection and protection will be provided for all circuits. One common Ground Fault relay will be used.



NCSXPROTECTION FOR UPGRADE

WILL USE D- SITE RECTIFIERS & ASSOCIATED BUILT-IN PROTECTION NEW ANALOG COIL PROTECTION DEVICE (ACP) WILL BE DESIGNED &

INSTALLED FOR EACH CIRCUITThe ACP will Invoke Level 1 On Coil Overcurrent If there is presence of current at a level 0 to 10%(adjustable) of the full

scale (i.e. 0 to TBD A) for > an adjustable duration of time in increments of 0.1 second (0.1 to 99.9 seconds) shall trip the Power Supplies.

If more than one pulse is imposed before an adjustable waiting period of 1 to 999 seconds in one second increments.

If the (I^2)*t is more than TBD Simulate coil cooling using a single exponential decay adjustable from

TBD seconds to TBD seconds.– ACP Design: – a). Two ACPs one redundant to the other - assemblies in Rack in D-

Site– b) The ACP design to be standardized. Signal from DCCTs brought to

signal Conditioner. Output from the signal conditioner will be fed as the input signal to the PCB of each circuit/coil or if summing in required, to a summing module before being fed to PCB for that circuit. Appropriate testing features to be installed in chassis.



NCSX

• B. Pulse Duration & Period Timer.• New Pulse Duration and Period to be installed in D-Site. This timer will give

permissive over an adjustable window of time (adjustable in one second increments from TBD to TBD seconds) when a Start of Pulse (SOP command is received). The timer will also prevent any additional pulsing for an adjustable 600 to 900 seconds even if more SOP command is received within that time.

• C. Coil Protection Calculator(CPC).• If considered necessary a CPC will be designed and installed.• D. Coil temperature signal at start of pulse.:• The signals to be received from the C-Site shall include the final signal

from the PLC which will compute the resistance of the modular coils. • However potential leads (#16 insulated wires) from the machine modular

coil terminals shall be brought out as part of MIE project, to enable resistance measurement. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT WE MAY BRING OUT THE MODULAR COIL LEADS FROM ONE COIL ONLY FROM EACH PERIOD AND BELONGING TO DIFFERENT GROUP I.E MA , MB, AND MC. LEADS FROM OTHER COILS IF REQUIRED CAN BE TAKEN AFTER THE COLD/HOT BOX (this will thus include the coil leads and hence will not be the coil only).

• Additional Interlocks as needed from C-Site will be introduced.

NCSXCoil Resistance Measuring Scheme

• A constant current power supply will be provided to measure the coil resistance. This Resistance Test Power Supply (RPS) will be connected AT THE Disconnect switch in the C-Site Basement, directly across the input from the supply feeding the coil. Thus the RPS will be connected directly across this power supply. During pulsing the supply will be kept disconnected by a contactor. See Sketch 2 for details. Also resistances R1 & R2 (Values TBD) are connected as shown.

• The RPS current and the Coil voltages will be fed into a Resistance Measuring Device (RMD). The RMD is yet to be designed or this function will be incorporated in the PLC itself. The output from the RMD will be sent to PLC as needed. The PLC will give permissive to the Power Supplies only if the value is normal for the start of the pulse. For MA coils the value is about 1.1 milliohms.

• We could keep the current control of the RPS at 50 Amps always (Current controlled), in which case the RMD will be just a voltage measuring device. The trip level can be either set at the PLC or designed and built into the RMD
