Abstract: This article describes the vacuum system of the KTM tokamak and also presents an algorithm for the technological mode of conditioning of the tokamak vacuum chamber (VC) performed before and during the experiment and its influence on production of glow discharges. The applied procedure of the vacuum chamber preparation, despite the atmospheric leakage in 2021, provided the possibility to develop conditions for conducting experiments at the KTM tokamak and to obtain discharges with the highest currents and discharge durations for this facility achievable at the time of writing of this article. As a result of the analysis of experimental data, the conditions have been established under which plasma discharges are not formed.
