Major Events on HV Electrical cables Network
SPS 18 kV network– 6 cable failures on the 18 kV network (Including the 4 ones mentioned by P. Sollander)
• 2 on the pulsed TI8 network, stop of the SPS machine (2001)• 3 on the pulsed network, operation of SPS possible in open loop
(1970)• 1 failure on the SMB1, redundant network available (1970)
BEQ1 Compensator– Failure on a 18 kV cable head of the BEQ1 feeder in BE substation,
fortunately not in operation during failure period (2003)
RESTO 1 Meyrin– Elastimold 18 kV elbow connector on a transformer powering the general
services of Resto 1. (2001)– Near miss failure detected tanks to the preventive maintenance and the
reinforced visual inspections of the installation by the operation section.

Major Events on CERN HV cells
– ME24 cell explosion ( 1995)
• 10 days stop of the machines feed through the ISOLDE loop
– SE18 near miss ( 1995)
– Preventive action taken• Problem limited to FLUAIR cell type on Meyrin substations and SE18
From March 2009 till December 2010• Install cables between BA6-BA6 (2X), BA1-BA2 (2X),
BA2-BE (1X)
• Digging 6.6 km
• Prepare renovation of substations BA4 and BA2
• Define and implement scheme for parallel coupling of the BE-TI8 antenna with BE-BA4 pulsed loop
During shutdown 2010-2011• Commissioning of installed cables
• Renovation and commissioning of substations in BA4 and BA2
• Installation and commissioning of parallel coupling BE-TI8 with BE-BA4 pulsed loop

SPS Consolidation – Mid term work plan
By the end of shutdown 2012• Installation and commissioning of cables between
BA4-BA1 (2X)
• Digging 1.1 km
• Renovation and commissioning of substations BA1 and BA3
By the end of shutdown 2013• Renovation and commissioning of substation BA6

BA4-TI8 network layout
Situation• Power line added in 2004 to power the
CNGS experiment• On this line we also have the SPS stable
network for BA4• Not being part of a loop -> no redundancy for
powering CNGS and SPS pulsed network in BA4
TI8
Consequences• If a fault appears on this line (ex: joint to be
replaced), one week of shut down minimum
Remedies• Implement possibility to operate the TI8 line
in // to the SPS pulsed loop from BE to BA4

SMB
Consequences• If a fault appears on this line, one week of
shut down minimum of the affected segment
How to proceed?• 1) Receive guidelines whether to include
these circuits in the EN/EL SPS consolidation mandate or:
• 2) as recommended by the ATC on 27th Oct. 2006 study and find procedures for a fast repair and shorten DTTR
Situation• Old power lines affected by water treeing
effect ( 1970) • Failure rate going up with the time• Operation is not 100 % redundant (see 4th
ATC minutes 27th October 2006)• Fully operated by TE-EPC, maintained by
EN/EL

Failure location on HV network
Current procedure• As soon as a failure is detected, ERDF (Electricite Reseau Distribution
France) is contacted and they intervene on average within three days to precisely localize the failure.
Technique• In most of t he cases reflectometry coupled with a pulsed surge generator.
Limits• Time of intervention depends on availability of ERDF. Also to consider that
EDF network diagnostic has priority with respect to CERN.
How to improve• EN/EL has almost all the equipment to perform the same type of diagnostic• A bit old but can be upgraded with a dedicated budget• Today there are weaknesses on expertise, but if necessary on a short mid
term period we can envisage to set up a EN/EL team for such diagnostic
What is needed?• Dedicated personnel, time for set-up and time for training on real cases

CONCLUSION
Failures• 6 out of 8 major failures or near miss are related to bad assembly of HV components
• For the SPS, except for the “joint crisis”, 2008 as not been a bad year, 2 faults due to aging cables. One affecting SMB. But…remember what we saw on the video!
• Cells and substations: let us not underestimate the status of ME59 and ME9
Serious problem of HV components assembly quality• Identification of specialized firms in ongoing with good results
• In-house expertise must be improved in order to follow the execution of repair
High currents in SPS shields• Require more time to investigate the sources of these currents
Consolidation of SPS 2009-2010 (assuming LHC will run over the winter)• Installation of cables on two segments (BA5-BA6 and BA7-BA1)
• Re-configure substations in BA2, BA4 and improve the TI8 network layout
• Require solid budget and availability of sufficient and fully qualified personnel
• SMB: We need to know now what to do
• Failure location: there is room for improvement of the MTTR
