Abstract
A technique for calculating a plasma opening switch in an external magnetic field and its matching to a load the impedance of which increases with time was verified experimentally. The experiments were performed in the RS-20 facility both in the absence of a load and with various inductive loads. The amplitude of the voltage pulse at the input of the plasma opening switch was 0.36–0.84 MV, the current amplitude was 280–320 kA, and the pulse duration was ∼2 μs, whereas the corresponding parameters of the output pulse were 0.8–3.2 MV, 0–240 kA, and ∼100 ns.
