Abstract

The magnetic field configurations of poloidal field (PF) and toloidal field (TF) are the base of tokamak plasma operation. They are determined by the parameters such as positions and structures of PF and TF coils. Parameters of TF and PF coils of a new fully superconducting tokamak with non-circular cross-section EAST will change when the coils are cooled down from the ambient temperature to 4 K. Because of the cryogenic and refrigerator system, these parameters cannot be measured directly. Using magnetic probes signals, we measured and reconstructed magnetic field configuration of TF and PF coils. Parameters such as the positions of PF coils, the profile of the toloidal field in radial direction, the ripple and error field of toloidal field are obtained from the measurements.
