Description/Abstract:
Following assembly of the SNAP-15C power supplies, a testing program was initiated. This included monitoring generator output for a one-year period to evaluate performance with time. To date each of the power supplies has exhibited a similar decline in voltage, resistance, and power output. Relatively little decline in performance has occurred during the last 1500 hours of operation.
