Abstract: In order to determine the gap sizes of electrode insulation for ITER glow discharge wall 
conditioning (GDC) and to assess the heat load deposited on the electrode head during the glow discharge, a series 
of tests were performed on the SWIP experimental platform. The breakdown voltage against H₂ and He glow 
discharge was obtained. The glow discharge voltage and thermal load on the test electrode against pressure, the 
tolerance of the test electrode in glow initiations, the relationship between the test electrode temperature and heat 
load, and gas pressure of glow discharge in different regions were studied under the ITER wall ion current density. 
In addition, ion sputtering and deposition on the wall of vacuum chamber during discharges were introduced, and 
their effects on the gap insulation were preliminarily analyzed. These results can provide reference for design and 
operation of ITER glow discharge wall conditioning system.
