We study the stability of fluctuations around a homogeneous non-Abelian electric field background that is of a form that is protected from Schwinger pair production. Our analysis identifies the unstable modes and we find a limiting set of parameters for which there are no instabilities. We discuss potential implications of our analysis for confining strings in non-Abelian gauge theories.

Constructs a stable 3-type electric flux tube in SU(3) with two fundamental scalars that is immune to Schwinger decay but does not find the corresponding 8-type solution.
