Low Voltage Power Supply Project
DSS-LVPS Interlock Board
The LVPS interlock board is receiving the ATLAS-DSS (Detector Safety System) cooling interlock
signals. In case of interrupted water cooling to the Tile Calorimeter, one LVPS
Interlock Board will disable functioning of 64 LVBOXes. It is also hardwired together
with 16 channels of 200VDC HPS1 bulk power supplies and 16 AUX Boards. Four DSS-LVPS
Interlock pcb boards are needed to stop/control 256 finger LVBOXes, they are
installed in the USA15 control room.
Additional 16ch (+1ch spare) Isource
Board has been designed in order to fully equip interlock current loops between
16 HVS1 power supplies and four DSS-LVPS Interlock Boards. This Isource board
provide 16 independent dc current of 15mA.
