The TCV electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system has been upgraded with the addition of three 118GHz, 500kW gyrotrons. They are designed to heat at the 2 nd harmonic (n=3) of the cyclotron resonance using extraordinary mode (X-mode) radiation. Vertical launch geometry is used to maximize the path length along the resonance. The plasma facing mirror is on the top of the machine. Real-time control of the poloidal launch angle has been installed and is being commissioned. The X3 system enables the heating of high density (≤ 1.1×10 20 m -3 ) plasma. Attempts have been made to heat the core plasma of H-mode discharges on TCV. This paper will briefly describe the X3 heating system and the real-time mirror control system. Initial results from the heating of H-mode will be presented THE X3 HEATING SYSTEM
