INTEGRATION OF THE RFX ELECTROMAGNETIC CIRCUITS

The commissioning of the RFX power supplies and their integration with the machine windings were performed in steps of increasing complexity; the target was to start the experiments with plasma in the final configuration of all systems, tested up to the performances required for first operation. After a brief description of RFX circuits and operation, the final tests on the power supplies, their commissioning with the control, data acquisition and fast protection systems and the integration with the machine windings are presented. Indications on operation reliability following the first experimental phase are finally given.
