Two steps have been taken towards determining if the flux absorption and relaxation properties of a spheromak will allow dc-powered electrodes to form and sustain a steady-state spheromak. Without changing the physical properties of the spheromak, the formation time was increased from an Alfven time to a tearing time, reducing the coaxial source power from approx.10 GW to approx.500 MW. With use of approx.50 MW, spheromaks were formed and then sustained at constant density and field for 1 ms, much longer than a magnetic energy decay time.
