Abstract :
After a brief description of the operating conditions in the RFX experiment, this paper describes the application of Taylor´s theory of the Bessel Function Model to the plasmas obtained in order to determine the internal field profiles. With this assumption, the power balance and the volt-second consumption during the plasma pulse are derived. The evaluation of plasma equivalent electrical parameters is derived from the model and compared with the experimental results
