It is shown that macroscopic stability of a current-carrying plasma filament in an 1 = 3 stellara-tor has a threshold-like dependence on the ratio η = p/p of the pressure of the high-frequency field to the pressure of the poloidal field, and that when η 0.4 is reached the filament is stable at q ff * 1. In the stabilized regime 3, F, >> 1.
