The FTU Electrical Power Supply includes all the sub-plants that supply
the FTU toroidal and poloidal fields, i.e., the transformer, the vertical
and the feedback for the vertical and horizontal plasma positions. To confine
the plasma by means of the magnetic fields requires very high electric power
for short times, which makes it practically impossible to use power directly
from the ENEL network. So, for our purposes two generators, MFG1 and MFG3,
are used.
The electrical energy generated is then converted from alternate
to continuous current either by the thyristor conversion units AL-T, AL-F,
AL-V, connected to MFG3 or by rectifier bridges connected to MFG1.
