Abstract: Results are given of theoretical and experimental investigations of schemes of matching of magnetocumulative generator (MCG) and load, which include a helical MCG, storage inductance coils, solid-state switch, and explosive current breaker. Magnetocumulative generators in combination with constant and variable storage inductances are developed and investigated. The results of numerical studies are checked in experimental runs under a model load with inductance of $100$ nH and under a load with variable inductance. The possibility is demonstrated of using the MCG developed as the effective power supply for a pulsed plasma accelerator (PPA).
