Description

The characteristics of heat flux on the T-10 limiter have been investigated using an infra-red camera. Main results are: (a) Potentially disruptive discharges can be identified by a large power peak (P>200 kW) preceding the current disruption. (b) Discharges with plasma density rising during the plateau phase avoid excessive limiter heating. (c) Microwave injection results in (i) arcs burning at the limiter edges and (ii) deviations from the exponential law of energy flux decay. (d) The limiter absorbs only 6% of the input power.
