Accelerator Equipment
The Accelerator equipment may be divided into following six main
categories:
(1) Control Electronics
(2) Ion Source Supplies
(3) Accelerator Tank Equipment
(4) Accelerator Power supplies
(5) Magnet Voltage Supplies
(6) Electrical Equipment
Control Electronics
It consists of, mainly, CAMAC system, control computer and
other Low voltage solid state electronic circuit associated
with small beamline components such as double slits,
Faraday cups, beam profile monitors etc. The control system
is described in Chapter 7. These low voltage, low power
circuits do not present any electrical hazard to personnel.
(i) drive motors inside the accelerator tank for the chains
and the rotating shafts.
(ii) Linear motor drives for the shorting rods and the corona
probe.
(iii) Drive motors for the compressor and the rotary vacuum
pump in the gas handling system.
ILLUMINATION
Electrical lighting is provided at an average illumination level
of 250-300 lux at the floor level in the laboratories and about
100 Lux in the staircase and corridors. In certain areas such as
the laboratory block, control room,etc, illumination by natural
light is also provided by an adequate number of windows.
However, in radiation shielded areas such as the tower and the
beam halls it is not possible to provide any window and all
lighting is electrical. In order to avoid total darkness in the latter
areas during power failures about 30 percent of the lights are
connected to the emergency power line. A minimum
illumination level of about 100 lux at the floor level is thus
ensured during mains power failure. However, as an additional
back-up, portable battery powered emergency lights have also
been installed in all the important areas. Fluorescent tube light
in industrial mountings with transluscent covers are used to
provide uniform and diffused lighting.
