Abstract :
The pressure, arising at passage of the large pulse current through the cylindrical liner, can be used for creation of super-high pressure and pulse compression of specimens. Such pressure is necessary for various physical research, for study of phase conversions of substances. The installation for creation of the pulse pressure in the z-pinch scheme is described in the paper. The installation is connected to the terminal of the E7-25 Capacitive Energy Store and it is designed for 10 MA current pulse with 20 kV voltage. The first test results of the installation are submitted.
