Non-inductive currents of electron cyclotron heated plasmas have been examined in the helical-axis heliotron device, Heliotron J. The bootstrap and EC currents were separated by comparing experiments with positive and negative magnetic field. The estimated bootstrap current was found to be affected by the magnetic field configuration. It increases with an increase in the bumpy component of the magnetic field spectrum, which agrees well with a neoclassical prediction calculated using the SPBSC code. The EC current driven by oblique launch with respect to the magnetic field strongly depends on the field configuration and the location of the EC power deposition. The EC current is enhanced when the EC power is deposited on the magnetic axis. The maximum EC current is IEC = −4.6 kA and the current drive efficiency is η = neRIp/PEC = 8.4 × 1016 A W−1 m−2. The flow direction of the EC current depends on the magnetic field ripple structure where the EC power is deposited.
