There are 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'', ''φ'', and ''Z'') of the magnetic field. | There are 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.

Two Rogowski coils have been installed in [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] A5 (148.7°) and B4 (211.3°). 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. | Two Rogowski coils have been installed in [[TJ-II:Sectors|sectors]] A5 (148.7°) and B4 (211.3°).
