The Fusion Engineering Design Center (FEDC) initiated a program in FY 81 directed towards the development of a Fusion Engineering Device (FED) tokamak design description. During the period from October 1980 to March 1981, the emphasis was on trade and design studies, in an effort to establish a baseline concept for the FED. This was followed by a period extending through September 1981 during which the chosen concept was examined in detail, and substantial progress was made towards a self-consistent FED design. The purpose of this paper is to describe the evolution of the poloidal field configuration in this design process, including the choice of an equilibrium field (EF) coil concept, and the operating scenario of a particular coil set based on that concept.
