Experiments carried out in the T-12 finger-ring tokamak with two poloidal diverters are reported. The purpose of the experiments was to determine how the magnetic configuration of the poloidal diverter affects the physical properties of the plasma, the MHD stability, and the vertical stability. The results show that the configuration has a positive effect on the plasma properties and essentially no effect on MHD processes in the plasma (no effect on the evolution of m=2 perturbations or on the current disruption).
