Second harmonic electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) has been investigated on CHS (Compact Helical System) by using a 2-D steerable EC-beam injection system. The direction of the plasma current, which is the sum of bootstrap current and EC-driven current, is clearly reversed by a reversal of the EC-beam injection direction. The direction of driven current is consistent with expectation in the case of low-field side injection of EC wave. So far, a driven current up to 6 kA has been obtained when bootstrap current is less than 2 kA. It is confirmed that right-hand polarization and low density are effective for ECCD.
