Test of Device Based on Disk Magnetocumulative Generator DMCG480 With Explosive Current Opening Switch

One of the perspective directions in high-energy-density physics is the creation of powerful electro physical facilities capable to form megampere current pulses with short front. This paper presents test results of the device based on five-element disk magnetocumulative generator DMCG480 and an explosive current opening switch. The current pulse of 15 MA with characteristic rise time of ~0.8 μs was obtained in the equivalent multiwire array load of 17 nH at circuit breaking with the current of 32 MA.
