The article presents the results of experiments conducted in 2021 to obtain plasma discharge at the KTM tokamak. The experiments achieved a plasma current of ∼500 kA with a discharge time of ∼0.5 s. Plasma discharges were obtained in the ohmic heating mode, with a plasma column of quasi-circular cross-section (with a plasma elongation of k ≤ 1.25). The results achieved in 2021, described in the article, represent a significant step towards achieving the KTM design parameters.
