Abstract
This paper presents the model of Globus-M active spherical tokamak without plasma in the vacuum vessel. The tokamak passive structures are taken into account in the model. The authors develop the multivariable control system of poloidal magnetic fluxes in the tokamak vacuum vessel of the external cascade based on the internal current control cascade in the poloidal windings. The numerical simulation results of the control system in Matlab are given.
