Abstract
The transport of locally trapped particles in a stellarator is analyzed when the magnetic surfaces deviate from equipotentials. Expressions derived for the density and fluxes lead to a system of equations for the poloidal and radial components of the electric field under various frequency regimes. In certain cases the poloidal component causes marked changes in the radial particle flux.
