Description

When investigating plasma parameters in U-3M torsatron some magnetic diagnostics are used: diamagnetic loop, Rogovski coil, and saddle coil. Before the last experimental campaign the set of 15 magnetic probes (Mirnov coils) were installed additionally in one poloidal cross-section of the torus. Using magnetic diagnostics the toroidal plasma current and angular distributions of current-produced poloidal component of magnetic field were measured for two regimes of plasma production by RF power. In the paper the characteristics of the current are presented and discussed
