Experimental study of an inverse wire array z-pinch operating as a current switch

Experimental study of an inverse wire array z-pinch operating as a current switch

Summary form only given. We will present experiments on the MAGPIE facility (1.5 MA, 250 ns) in which an inverse wire array (with the wires acting as a return current cage placed around a central current conductor) operated as a fast current switch. This allowed to significantly reduce the rise-time...
