  • 1. Ebasco Serv Inc, New York, NY, USA

Description

This paper outlines the rationale and concepts which led to the TFTR grounding system. Examples of induced voltages and voltage gradients expected during plasma disruption are presented. The methods of voltage gradient control and grounding connections are described. In addition to conventional grounding arrangements for equipment housings, fences, cable trays, special requirements for the vacuum vessel, TFTR coil cases, PF coil surfaces and umbrella-like support structures are described. Arrangements for diagnostic grounds which are designed to minimize interference from the facility ground also are described
