Abstract
The low-beta triplets of the Large Hadron Collider were designed and constructed by a world-wide collaboration officially formed in 1998. Over the course of the following years the collaboration worked to produce the triplet components, including four 215 T/m, 70 mm aperture quadrupoles, a DFBX distribution feedbox, and at the low luminosity interaction points a cold D1 beam separation dipole. In 2005 the first triplet was installed in the LHC tunnel, and at the end of 2007 hardware commissioning of the first triplets started. As of August 2008 five triplets have been successfully powered. This paper documents the processes and experience gained during the commissioning phase of the LHC.
