The results of local measurements of RF discharge plasma parameters (plasma density and its fluctuations, electron temperature and energy of superthermal electrons, plasma poloidal rotation velocity) in the Uragam-3M torsatron are presented. The obtained data are analyzed taking into account the peculiarities of the Uragan-3M magnetic configuration and scenario of RF plasma production and heating. Some suppositions about mechanisms of a radial electric field generation are discussed with the calculation of a magnetic configuration island structure.
