Plasma striking voltage production

  • 1. Ebasco Serv Inc, Princeton, NJ, USA

Description

The TFTR ohmic heating pulsed energy conversion system not only heats the plasma but also develops the plasma striking (ionizing) potentials. Generation and control of these potentials is exercised by six interrupters and six metal resistors. Operating in concert, these components can produced a maximum system voltage of 150 kV. The TFTR 600:1 OH coil-to-plasma turns ratio yields a 250 V plasma striking potential. Plasma striking voltage generation and the salient features of the interrupters and metal resistors are described
