Description/Abstract:
Long term performance testing of two electrically heated SNAP-15C Series B design power supplies has been continued for 16,350 hours (1.87 years). Data from these test devices again exhibits relative stability as had been reported previously. During the report period, fabrication, assembly, and start of test (on March 29) of a new electrically heated generator was completed. This device employs twelve instrumentation thermocouples to provide diagnostic test information to aid in evaluation of generator electrical performance.
