Default Elektron"running well in 50-amp mode and seems to be shutting down when 32-amp mode is used"

begin quote from above
Update on Elektron: The Elektron seems to be running well in 50-amp mode and
seems to be shutting down when 32-amp mode is used. Due to the ongoing
battery reconditioning, the ISS is too short on power to stay in 50-amp mode
all the time. To maintain the power balance, the two MCCs agreed to power
down the Vozduhk CO2 scrubber and use the CDRA (carbon dioxide removal
assembly) instead, thus reducing the stress on the Russian power system. In
addition, pressurized element shell heaters will be turned off and manually
managed by ground controllers if they begin to approach the maximum
allowable 12.2 kW (action would be taken around 11.9 kW). This arrangement
will remain in force until the P6 battery reconditioning is complete and
TsUP/Moscow has defined the next set of troubleshooting plans.
