Abstract
Alignment during installation of an octant of a tokamak fusion toroidal magnetic takes place at room temperature or at low operating temperature of the magnet. In order to identify the magnetic center of the magnet, a toroidal magnet octant is electrically powered with equal but opposite flowing current and a spatially known probe is utilized to measure the magnetic field of such a powered octant.
