Studies of a magnetocumulative source of electromagnetic pulses with a double inductive energy storage

An energy source based on a helical magnetocumulative generator with simultaneous initiation of an explosive charge on the axis was developed. The generator operates on a double inductive energy storage with current circuit breakers in each storage. The main analytical dependences of the pulse amplitude and shape on the parameters of the double inductive energy storage were obtained. In an experiment with such an energy source, a voltage pulse of $770$–$800$ kV was obtained on a breaker made of electrically exploding wires. The voltage at possible load points was $1300$–$1350$ kV. The duration of the voltage pulse edge from 0.1$U_{\mathrm{max}}$ to $0.9U_{\mathrm{max}}$ did not exceed $0.5$ $\mu$sec.
