Currents into two of the baffle plates forming the lower divertor pump plenum are measured by monitors similar to the TCMs. Because one cannot guarentee that the current will divide equally between the two legs supporting a plate, both leg currents are measured independently. For pointnames click here. Twelve of the legs supporting the plates forming the radiative divertor pump plenum have current monitors. This array consists of three legs at each of four toroidal locations.
Leg current is determined by measuring the voltage drop along a short length of the leg itself.
The unit is Amperes in the specified leg. For pointnames click here. Click here for a list of pointnames . Click here for relevant papers . Return to Diagnostics Information Page .
