The External Conjugate-T (ECT) matching system is planned for installation on two A2 ICRH antenna arrays at JET in 2007. This will enhance the operational capabilities of the RF plant during ELMy plasma scenarios and create new opportunities for ITER-relevant matching studies. The main features of the project are discussed in the paper focusing on the specific challenges of the ECT automatic matching and arc detection in optimized ELM-tolerant configurations. A 'co/counter-clockwise' automatic control mode selection and an Advanced Wave Amplitude Comparison System (AWACS) complementing the existing VSWR monitoring are proposed as simple and viable solutions to the identified problems.
