Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. The installation is intended for experimental study of substances phase conversions with super-high pulse pressure. The pressure is created at passage of the large pulse current through the cylindrical heavy liner (z-pinch scheme). The installation is connected to the terminal of the E7-25 type capacitive energy store and its designs on 10 MA current pulse with 20 kV voltage, 100 /spl mu/s. The regimes of dynamic compression are presented, in which there is not over-heating of studying substances. Estimations of the electrodynamical forces, acting on the installation´s elements, are made.
