Description

This study deals with the nucleation mechanism of electric explosion of wires allowing estimation of wire parameters at the start of the explosion for a wide range of experimental conditions. We analyse the dependence of the limit value of the energy deposited during the initial resistive phase of heating of the wire on the parameters of the wire and circuit as well as the size distribution of metal particles formed on electrical explosion of the wire. We discuss the correspondence of these results with previously published experimental data
