Abstract
- Explosive current opening switches (EOSs) operate based on the principle of the conductors mechanical destruction of the inductive energy storage system by detonation products of the high explosive charge. The EOSs are used for current pulse sharpening of the magnetocumulative generators (MCG). These explosive single-acting devices constructively match each other; both operate in the physical limit and provide maximum specific characteristics. This paper describes several basic schemes of the EOS constructions that were experimentally checked in different laboratories of the world. The investigation results on the flat and cylindrical models and also full-scale experiments on the current pulses sharpening of the helical and disc MCG are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
