Abstract :
A movable in-vessel electrode has been designed for the RFX experiment in order to modify the radial electric field. The results of the tests performed on prototypes of the components are reported. The reliability of the structure has been assessed by a finite element structural analysis of the system. The power supply to be used for the electrode operation is described
