At certain times during Ohmic heating in hydrogen and deuterium discharges in the B-3 stellarator, it was observed that over a wide range of experimental conditions the plasma current decreased abruptly (current inhibition) following a period of increasing current and decreasing charged particle density. It is suggested that this may be a manifestation of an electrostatic instability.
