An exploding wire model that accounts for the electric field enhanced conductivity of dense metal plasma is applied to simulate an exploding wire opening switch. In contrast to many z-pinch experiments, operated in vacuum, the experiments here discuss wires vaporized in a high pressure gas environment. In addition to this, these experiments are primarily concerned with sub-eV temperatures, with a...
The environment surrounding an exploding wire is known be a controlling factor in electro-explosive fuse performance. Recent experiments have shown that the application of an insulating surface coating to the fuse wire can significantly increase the rate of impedance transition and impedance magnitude of the exploding wire. This paper discusses the performance of surface coated fuses tested in commonly...
