The start-up experiments were carried out at Uragan-2M stellarator with the Three-Half-Turn antenna (THT) without any pre-ionization. Conditions for optimal gas breakdown were found out through the variation of the neutral gas pressure, magnetic field strength and anode voltage of RF generator. The...
