Current Status of ICRF Heating Experiments on EAST

Radio frequency （RF） heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies （ICRF） is one of the primary auxiliary heating methods for EAST. The ICRF system provides 6 MW power in primary phase and will be capable of 10 MW later. Three 1.5 MW ICRF systems in a fr@quency range of 25 MHz to 70 MHz have alr...

Summary:Radio frequency （RF） heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies （ICRF） is one of the primary auxiliary heating methods for EAST. The ICRF system provides 6 MW power in primary phase and will be capable of 10 MW later. Three 1.5 MW ICRF systems in a fr@quency range of 25 MHz to 70 MHz have already been in operation. The ICRF heating launchers are designed to have two current straps with each driven by a RF power source of 1.5 MW. In this paper a brief introduction of the ICRF heating system capability in EAST and the preliminary results in EAST are presented.
