Morning
Looking for answers on using a choke to fix the power supply woes, Tony called up Owen, an off site contractor that did work on the S8 power supply. We went down to his office to speak with him about the design. He had a list of things that needed to be fixed including choke inductors on both sides of the scr's to limit the surge current and to reduce the voltage spikes that may be causing all our problems. He also threw in ideas for low-pass filter to eliminate the high frequency components that could jump the transformer.
Afternoon
We took a look at a little bit of the math involved with these concepts, then went back down to the office to pick up some reactors that Owen got from Platt earlier in the day. We had a chance to see his workshop which was interesting. While we were out, there was a fire in one of the bag houses up in extrusion. It was a pretty big mess by the time we got back.
