Abstract
Rey design points of the front-end system of TPE-RX reversed-field pinch (R FP) machine are described. Here the front-end system is the components of t he machine between the thick shell and the plasma surface and it consists o f the vacuum vessel, shell system and pulsed vertical field coil (PVC). The effect of the multi-layered shell system is examined in terms of the relat ive radial magnetic perturbation. A summary of the port error field and the magnetic field produced by the PVC are also shown. The actual construction procedure is also described. Construction of the TPE-RX was completed at t he end of December 1997 and it is now routinely in operation with RFP confi guration. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
