Abstract: The potential characteristics of spherical tokamak configurations with current hole are investigated from the point of view of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium and stability. The effect of the toroidal shear flows is also considered by using a modified Grad-Shafranov equation. Linear and nonlinear stability for low-n kink modes and intermediate-n ballooning mode is analyzed by means of numerical simulations.
