Compact shunts for the upper divertor of ASDEX Upgrade
Source abstract
Abstract
The compact shunts that are mounted in the upper divertor of ASDEX Upgrade are now operational and measure the thermocurrents generated by the temperature difference between the two target plates of the upper divertor cassette. A thermocurrent is measured when the strike point is on the tile. When a divertor coil current is introduced, the location of the strike point changes. This results in thermocurrent being measured on the corresponding tile. However, the shunt measurements are not toroidally symmetric when gas puffing alters the local conditions in front of a tile, or when a locked mode is present.
