Abstract
As part of the creation of a unique T-15MD tokamak with a magnetic field of 2 T and an aspect ratio of 2.2, the first one of a series (8 pieces) of microwave setups of a megawatt power level for electron–cyclotron plasma heating and current drive was developed and successfully tested. The setup includes a gyrotron, power supplies, a microwave radiation transmission line, and a fast (response time is no more than 10 μs) gyrotron emergency protection system. The generation regime was experimentally demonstrated with the parameters 1 MW/30 s/82.6 GHz for an efficiency of 57%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
