Two independent approaches, based on the inclusion of model loss terms in analytical Fisch-Boozer and numerical Fokker-Planck models, give good quantitative agreement on the reduction of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) efficiency by non-Coulomb energy loss. By fitting recent tokamak measurements of ECCD efficiency to these results, the characteristic time-scale for non-Coulomb energy loss by current carrying electrons is calculated.
