Abstract
We report preliminary results of an investigation of the global properties and the stability of a magnetised collisionless plasma column under the influence of a biased limiter. For higher negative biases the diameter of the plasma column can be decreased until the plasma is completely quenched. For smaller positive biases only the radial density gradient and the radial electric field are affected and the oscillations at the plasma column's edge change their frequency and band width. Also the electron current-driven potential relaxation instability can either be enhanced or totally quenched by the limiter bias.
