Abstract: A method for organizing a discharge in a magnetoplasma compressor, ensuring an axisymmetric distribution of the discharge current, is proposed and implemented. This is made possible by dividing the external electrode into isolated segments that are connected to the output of a binary branched electrical circuit, which provides automatic adjustment of electrical parameters due to negative feedback created by a system of bifilarly coupled inductors. The proposed solution allows raising the operating pressure threshold up to atmospheric values. A criterion for selecting the parameters of bifilar inductors that ensures minimal current imbalance in the arrester sections has been obtained.

Keywords: magnetoplasma compressor, coaxial electrodes, axial symmetry, autotuning, binary branched electric circuit.
