Abstract: The first results of an investigation of the complete current switching (initiation and quenching) using a fine-mesh grid in discharge with a cathode spot on liquid cesium are reported. Experimental data show the possibility of using this method of control at current densities within 5–25 A/cm$^2$ in the grid plane.
