Abstract
Experiments have been performed in which an explosively formed fuse transferred a fraction of the 10 MA output current from an explosively powered magnetic flux compression generator to a conventional exploding metallic fuse load. System malfunctions significantly reduced the current delivered to the load and changed the fuse performance. The resultant slowing of the fuse material’s trajectory through density-temperature space allowed a correlation between optical and electrical diagnostics which indicated a significant delay between the onset of hydrodynamic motion and the onset of rapid resistance increase. The experiments have confirmed a computational model of the fuse load hydrodynamic behavior.
