Transportable simulators of electromagnetic pulses based on magnetocumulative generators

Transportable simulators of electromagnetic pulses that can be delivered directly to the locations of tested objects are designed for tests of the resistance of various wide-scale objects to the action of electromagnetic pulses. Explosive magnetocumulative generators are used as the power sources. The tested objects are protected from the effects of explosion of the generators by simple protective facilities. Experiments on the production of pulsed magnetic fields in volumes of up to100 m$^3$ were performed. A current-pulse shaping scheme was used to generate a rapidly increasing field. Plane electromagnetic waves were produced, by means of an air-strip line powered from the generators. The action of electromagnetic pulses on buried cable lines was modeled. Test specimens of simulators of the action of electromagnetic pulses and lightning current are produced.
