The work is devoted to the investigation of the features of the conductor explosion in a vacuum under the conditions of skinning the current, and specifically, the effect of the magnetic field nonlinear diffusion wave spreading over the exploded conductor on its electrical properties. Experiments on the explosion of conductors were carried out on the IMRI-5 pulse power generator. The exploded conductor was soldered to the cathode and mechanically clamped between the plates on the anode. In the experiments, we used two types of conductors, cylindrical and flat (foils). Cylindrical conductors were of two types: copper (0.5 mm in diameter) and aluminum (0.44 mm in diameter). Foils were also of two types: copper with a thickness of 300 microns and aluminum with a thickness of 200 microns. The foil width varied from 1 to 3 mm. The length always remained 30 mm. To calculate the circuit inductance and calculate the corrections for the real conductor inductance, we used a load that was either a copper foil 600 μm thick and 1 cm wide, or a copper conductor with a diameter of 2 mm (short circuit mode).
