Description
The ALS-U (Advanced Light Source Upgrade) project is an upgrade to the ALS at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
The new multibend achromat (Storage Ring) will be installed in 16 months. To meet the tight schedule and space constraints, the 48 modules of magnets (called rafts) are prestaged and aligned in advance. All local electrical wiring is prestaged to reduce the installation time in the tunnel.
Electrical work includes cabling for grounding, thermocouples, MPS (Machine Protection System), magnet power and correctors, vacuum, beamline feedback (diagnostics), and AC cables, all arranged to minimize heat buildup. Key challenges include raft transport requirements and managing the overall routing as well as future upgrades in the tightly packed lattice arrangement.
This contribution presents the electrical integration on the raft during prestaging. It further outlines the testing activities and the prototype rafts developed to validate and optimize installation procedures. It details the schematics, cable and material management for the 48 rafts, as well as the ALS-U configuration management system and databases used for electrical routing.
