Injection system (Laser power stabilization)

PSTAB box ground reference

Around 13:30 UTC we put down INJ_MAIN and NARM/WARM nodes, opened BPC (DC on) to allow the work in the laser lab by the Artemis crew.

Around 18:10 LT we went on the IB platform to examine the ground connection of the PSTAB box installed on SIB1.

We found the west flange with the fedd-through of the PSTAB cables as indicated by Jean-Pierre Coulon (see picture 1). The small black wire starting from the PSTAB connector is attached to the metallic structure by means of a crocodile connector (see picture 2,3). We measured the resistance by means of an ohmmeter between:

1) exposed metallic plug before the crocodile connection and the tower = 0.3 Ohm after a few seconds (starting at 1.4 Ohm)

2) attached chassis and the tower = 0.1 Ohm

3) the metallic cylinder holding the cables in place and the tower = 3.4 Ohm

(see picture 4 as a reference).

 

After we went back to the control room, we closed again BPC loop, resumed INJ_MAIN, sent IMC_RESTORED as a request and then were able to relock the arms with the IR by using NARM and WARM metatron nodes. We leave the ITF like this.

Is it possible to connect the crocodile directly to the tower? Perhaps this will decrease the 50 Hz in the pstab.
