Description

This paper presents investigation results of the helical magneto-cumulative generator of 100 mm diameter intended for plasma focus powering by the current of more than 2 MA. A cylindrical explosive current opening switch with copper foil located on the 100 mm diameter is used to form a current pulse with a steep front in the plasma load. The magneto-cumulative generator has an effective magnetic flux finish pressing out after the opening switch operation start to compensate current decrease due to the growing load inductance.
