Experiments on plasma heating at the frequency of the electron cyclotron resonance are reported. The nominal microwave power pumped into the tokamak was about 500 kW. The heating efficiency ranged from 60% to 90%, depending on the conditions. The increase in the electron temperature reached ATe 0.6-0.9 keV.
