  The JPARC main ring fast extraction (FX) system has two functions, deliver high power beam to the neutrino experimental facility and dump the beam at any time in case of hardware failures. The present FX system consists of five pair of bipolar kickers and eight pair of bipolar septa. In order to raise the beam power to the design limit, both the beam intensity and the repetition rate will increase gradually. The FX system needs to be upgraded to satisfy the new requirements. The upgrade includes FX orbit optimization and new design of devices. Firstly, the conventional multi-turn low-field septa will be replaced by eddy current type septa. Several configurations of the new design has been studied to realize the requirements of thinner septum, higher field quality, lower leakage and higher mechanical stability. To provide sufficient flat top field for the FX beam, superposition of 3rd harmonic pulse has been employed.
