Abstract :
Summary form only given, as given. Considers the scheme to supply the MAGO chamber with the help of an inductive shunt. In this scheme the time of flow of the preliminary supply current is reduced as compared with the scheme using the explosive closing switch. When supplying the plasma chamber by the helical EMG, the current of preliminary supply is commutated by the closing switch. In the circuit with the closing switch the current flows in the chamber without changing the amplitude till the end of helical generator operation, thus producing a destroying effect on the chamber elements.
