Notes:
Complete one cycle and 1.5 cycle ac operations are performed in the STOR-M tokamak with the plasma current of ∼20 kA using newly developed feedback control and Ohmic heating circuits. Bias voltage adjustment is installed in the plasma position circuit to optimize the plasma position in the second negative plasma current phase for multicycle ac operation. The key to successful, reproducible multicycle ac tokamak operations on STOR-M is to control both the total vertical field by the feedback control system and the plasma position by application of the bias voltage. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
