 Description   

This was on nir-sn1 (n2 at LAM) when starting turbo pump:

-=1471, PFS: XCU_N2 PCM bus 2 input voltage =-
2022-12-16 09:26:27   24V-AUX Input power is failing: 22.8V !

how can we deal with that ?

I'm surprised you have not seen this before – as far as I can tell it happens on most cryostats. The turbo simply pulls enough current to make the  PCM input power drop for a while.

Slightly gross, but the alerts actor could look at the turbo speed, and muffle the error if 0 < rpm < 90000. Not sure I would want to be more clever than that. Maybe add one sample of history and require that it be speeding up before blocking an alarm?

I did , but did not reported it !

so right after it reported:

-=1471, PFS: XCU_N2 PCM bus 2 input voltage =-
2022-12-16 09:29:57   24V-AUX Input power is failing: 23.9V !

then later

-=1471, PFS: XCU_N2 PCM bus 2 input voltage =-
2022-12-16 10:10:27   24V-AUX Input power is failing: 23.85V !

so I had to deactivate the alert, which is not good if this alert really matter

of course one can claim that this issue may disappear if we perform a passive warmup...

Twice, then? So not during the turbo acceleration. Will ask Hope whether we should lower the threshold.

Comment by fmadec [ 20/Dec/22 ]

yes, during turbo acceleration but also after
