* Two straight arrays above the plasma column, each with 12 coils, mounted in a 0.5 mm thick stainless steel tube attached to a port flange. The 12 coils are distributed in 4 groups of 3 coils each, separated by a distance of 30 mm. The three coils in each group measure the three cylindrical components (''R'', ''Z'', and ''&phi;'') of the magnetic field. They are located in [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] B5 and C4, at ''&phi;'' = 232 and 308 degrees.

Two Rogowski coils have been installed in [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] A5 (148.7&deg;) and B4 (211.3&deg;) ''(Note: the angles are inconsistent)''. Since the coils have to surround the plasma column completely, they are located under the protecting tiles of the groove that runs toroidally all along the [[TJ-II:Vacuum system|vacuum vessel]]. For this purpose, 2 mm deep channels were machined on the vacuum side of the groove, at the above mentioned poloidal cross sections, in order to allow enough space for the coils.

The signals 'Ip_a5_' and 'Ip_b4_' in the [[TJ-II:Shot database|TJ-II database]] provide the corresponding measurements of the net plasma current.
