It is recommended that EITHER the temperature margin constraint (60), OR the current density
constraints (26 and 27) are activated.

!!! tip "Recommended maximum current ratio"
For engineering feasibility, the centrepost currents at end of flat-top and beginning of pulse (`fjohc` and `fjohc0` respectively) shouldn't be set above 0.7.

This approximation is sufficiently accurate at the plasma centre.

!!! tip "Recommended maximum critical current ratio"
For engineering feasibility, the TF coil operating current / critical current ratio shouldn't be set above 0.7, i.e. `fiooic` shouldn't be above 0.7.

## TF coil inboard mid-plane geometry
This section describes TF coil inboard leg geometry of the cross-section defined by z=0 (mid-plane). Resistive and superconducting coils are described separately.
