BASIC CONCEPT OF GROUNDING IN THE ACCELARATOR RING

Vacuum chambers including monitors are grounded in the tunnel. Beam pipes passing through magnets are isolated from the magnet. RF, kicker, collimator, and SEP are grounded in the tunnel. BM, QM, SM, and StM are grounded in the power supply building. Ion pumps are isolated from beam pipes. Ceramic breaks are provided at upstream point of BMs. In RCS, ceramic breaks are provided with every magnet using ceramic duct.

CABLING AND GROUNDING IN THE RCS

Policy
All power cable is twisted and shielded. Cable shielding is grounded in one-sided. Power supply housing is insulated from floor and water pipe. Main circuit is only grounded in neutral point. Chokes Switchgear Transformer Power supply Capacitor banks

CABLING AND GROUNDING POLICY IN THE MAIN RING

Main circuits are fed by cables with shields. Magnets are not grounded in the tunnel but at power supply side. Grounding cables are installed separately with each magnet family B, 11 Q-families, 3 S-families) . Grounding cables are also installed between a transformer and a power supply. Grounding of cable racks is under consideration.

PULSE MAGNET POWER SUPPLY FOR INJECTION AND EXTRACTION SYSTEM Coils are not grounded in the tunnel but grounded in power supply buildings through power cables. Magnetic core, vacuum duct, and frame are grounded both in the tunnel and buildings. Each grounding points are connected by cables.

GROUNDING AND SHIELDING OF RF SYSTEM

In general, grounding is designed so that drive current must directly return to each corresponding power supply. 1.2MW anode power supplies are switched mode power supply w/ IGBT inverters. Tri-axial cable for tube anode supply is used for shielding high frequency EMI noise. Single point grounding is performed. However, cavity /amplifier chassis are grounded w/ resistor for safety

Noise immunity reinforcement plan of beam monitors

Grounding is done in the tunnel or the control room (power supply buildings). (possible to ground at the both ends, optionally) Beam pipe will be grounded in the tunnel via each BPM, to prevent from charging up. Use high shielding efficiency cables
Proper use of noise-shielded transformers. Use common mode chokes

Screening effectiveness depends on the construction of outer conductor: flexible rigid!

SUMMARY
EMC program of the accelerator ring is mainly focused on grounding. Two golden rules of grounding are one point grounding and safety. Power supply, beam pipes, vacuum pumps are grounded separately. Grounding of cable rack is under consideration. As to beam monitors, high efficiency shielding cables are selected
