At [[TJ-II]], a 2-D carbon composite mushroom shaped electrode (12 mm high with a diameter of 25 mm) has been developed and installed on a fast reciprocating probe drive. Typically, the electrode is inserted to a position 2 cm inside the last closed flux surface (LCFS) and biased positively (200-300 V) with respect to one of the two [[TJ-II:Limiter|TJ-II limiters]] located in the [[Scrape-Off Layer]] region (about 0.5 cm beyond the LCFS). Measured electrode currents are in the range of 30-50 A. | |||

In 2009, the power source (originally DC) has been upgraded to allow modulation with a frequency of up to a few kHz. | |||
