Abstract: The semi-analytical method, previously used to construct model double-null and single-null diverted tokamak equilibria (Bingren Shi, Plasma Phys. Control Fusion/ 50 (2008) 085006, 51 (2009) 105008, Nucl. Fusion/ 51 (2011) 023004), is extended to describe diverted tokamak equilibria with nonzero edge current, including the Pfirsch-Schlüter(PS) current. The PS current density is expressed in a way suitable to describe a diverted tokamak configuration in the near separatrix region. The model equilibrium is expressed by only two terms of the exact separable solutions of the Grad-Shafranov equation, one of which is governed by a homogeneous ordinary differential equation, and the other by an inhomogeneous one. The particular merits of such a model configuration are that the internal region inside the separatrix and a suitable scrape-off layer can be simultaneously described by this exact solution. To investigate the physics in the region near the X-point, the magnetic surfaces can be satisfactorily described by approximate hyperbolic curves.

Key words: diverter configuration, nonzero edge current, PS current
