It is important to determine the scaling of the stabilising requirements for RWMs to extrapolate to ITER and beyond. The underlying damping determining RWM stability has been probed with applied error fields on JET; similar to the methods used on DIII-D. Experimental results show good agreement with modelling with the MARS code, in particular on the amplification of the applied error field as beta increases towards the ideal limit. Analysis of old data has also revealed instabilities with many RWM characteristics, possibly giving another route for cross machine comparison. (Funded by EURATOM under EFDA)
