Abstract
An approach to optimizing the fuse opening switch geometry for explosive magnetic flux compression generators (EMGs or MCGs) is analagous to that developed by Maisonnier, Linhart, and Gourlan (1966) for inductive store/opening switch pulse sharpening of capacitor discharges. That is, the cross section of the fuses, should be related via an integral equation to the fuse material properties and the discharge current. The author investigates fuse optimisation based on the integral equation.
