In this work we evaluated the ITER ELM coils design based on two metrics: the Chirikov vacuum magnetic island overlap parameter, and the vacuum Field Line Loss Fraction. The study was performed for a range of current amplitudes for three different n = 4 waveforms: square, cosine and sine. The results indicated that ITER ELM coils are designed with a high level of flexibility to accommodate different operation scenarios (H-mode and Steady State) with different values of q(95) and q-profiles. The magnetic island overlap analysis showed that ITER ELM coils are capable of matching the DIII-D I-coil spectrum. The Field Line Loss analysis showed that edge vacuum stochastization might be achieved that is similar or greater than in DIII-D. Fault analysis of the coils indicated that ITER ELM coils are robust and show good characteristics even with 11% of dead coils.
