Abstract
The inner triplet orbit correctors for the LHC, MCBX and MCBXA, underwent acceptance tests at superfluid helium temperature at CERN, before shipping to FNAL for integration in the cold masses. A total of 27 MCBX (Horizontal-Vertical Dipole Correctors), of which 9 MCBXA (with nested Sextupole-Dodecapole insert), are needed for the LHC, including spares. The paper discusses the test protocols for series magnets, and reports the results of quench performance and cold magnetic measurements. The peculiarities of combined training and the hysteresis effects in the nested windings are presented, together with the search of the optimum setting procedure to minimize the persistent current effects on the beam dynamics
