Abstract

In this paper two methods for determining plasma position in the IR-T1 tokamak are presented: a multipole moments method and an analytical solution of the equilibrium problem using the Grad–Shafranov equation. Based on the multipole moments method, modified Rogowski and saddle coils were designed and constructed for measuring plasma column displacement. Good agreement in comparison between the analytical and experimental approaches in determining plasma displacement in the IR-T1 tokamak is achieved.
