    Analysis of stability of the peeling-ballooning modes in the edge plasma of the Globus-M tokamak is presented. Studies were performed using the ideal 3D MHD code written in the BOUT++ framework. The edge localized modes which are frequently observed in the Globus-M plasma could be described using MHD theory. It was found that the parameters of the Globus-M edge plasma are in the range of stability for the peeling-ballooning modes. The instability modes with a toroidal number of n = 12 and typical distances between filaments of approximately ∼12 cm were found to be the most unstable. This statement agrees with the Doppler backscattering measurements. It was also considered whether the plasma in the Globus-M2 tokamak will be stable against the PB instability.
