ArXi:2605.31259v1 Announce Type: new Unscheduled trips of high-power pulsed converters are a leading source of downtime at large accelerator facilities. At the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS), the High Voltage Converter Modulators (HVCMs) are consistently the second-largest contributor to lost beam time. Each HVCM pulse is recorded across sensor channels spanning currents, voltages, and magnetic fluxes, whose mutual interactions encode the operating state of the system.
