Inserting a positively biased electrode to just inside the Phaedrus-T tokamak limiter results in typical H mode behaviour (i.e. Hα or Dα drop, density rise, increase in stored energy, profile steepening, and reduction of edge turbulence and radial transport) in deuterium, hydrogen and helium discharges. Hα or Dα emission suggests that the improvement in particle confinement with H mode is poloidally asymmetric, with the greatest improvement occurring on the low field side. The radial conductivity is examined and measured values are compared with theory
