Abstract :
In this paper we present results of a current measurement in a wire liner of a facility for soft X-ray radiation pulses formation. The measurements were held with a magneto-optical method using Faraday effect in a single-mode fiber. It is shown that using magneto-optical method it is possible to measure the current more than 100 MA with a current rise time of ~1014-1015 A/s. These values are almost limiting ones for modern electrophysical facilities.
