Experiments were performed on the elimination of the helical instability with the aid of a feedback system in an / = 3 stellarator (R-O) with ohmic heating. It is shown that introduction of a feedback system makes it possible to exceed the threshold of the development of the m = 2 instability and contain the plasma pinch in a new stable state.
