N2 - Comparison between non-inductive plasma current start-up using electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) with and without fundamental (1st) resonance using 8.2-GHz microwave is experimentally performed on QUEST. Results of soft X-ray measurements in different energy ranges indicate significant difference in the number of current-carrying electrons with and without fundamental resonance. Numerical calculations show effective extendibility of electron energy in ECRH of fundamental resonance.
