Technical requirements: The ISIS Injection Dipole power supply, based at UKRI STFC, will be replaced in 2018/19. At the same time, the opportunity will be taken to replace the magnet cable. The cable will carry a pulse of up to 15 kA for a maximum of 550 μs + 2×100 μs quarter sinewave rising and falling edges, repeated at 50 Hz. The new cable will be based on the existing cable but will require an additional armour layer to provide mechanical protection against objects that puncture the sheath from making contact with the outer conductor. A total of 2.4 km of cable is required. The route from power supply to magnet is approximately 80 metres. The cable will be delivered on 4 drums, with 600 metres on each. Please refer to the specification document for further information. Delivery of the cable to UKRI STFC RAL must be completed within 5 months of contract commencement.
