EMU Low Voltage (LV) Equipment

MARATON and Rectifier

Description:
Rectifier converts 220 V AC to 380 V DC. Rectifier is in non hazard area (control room). MARATON Power Supply (PS) converts 380 V DC to 8 V DC. PS has 6 channels, 4-8 V DC (rated 2 x 150 A, 2 x 100 A, 2 x 50 A). It is modification for EMU with air cooling. MARATON is in hazard area near the detector. MARATON supplies a peripheral crate (4.5 V DC and 6.5 V DC) and a CSC (analog channel of 7 V DC and digital channel of 6 V DC)
Producer:
WIENER
Persons to contact:
Dick Loveless, Urs Vogt.
Order:
40 MARATONs, 40 rectifiers and 6 crates (Do we need 1 spare?) for the rectifiers.
System:
36 MARATONs, 36 rectifiers, 6 crates (for 6 rectifiers).
Delivery:
There is no information about schedule from Dick.
Assembling:
Who will assemble MARATONs (put in their places on the disks)?

Plans:
Dick will ask Dan to make 20% lager box if it's possible. Grounding bar is still waiting to add to the junction box. Plan is to make one copper prototype and to assemble it to the existing box. Dick took the drawing of ground bar to investigate how to make it at U. of W. Also Sergei wants to talk with Dan about tin plated copper bar.
