Measurement of High Current Pulses

Measurement of high current pulses with can crushing. CRO showing current (upper trace) and voltage (lower)

Measurement of High Current Pulses (or my multimeter doesn’t have a 100,000 amp scale). The upper trace shows a peak current of two squares (20,000 A) and lower trace a peak voltage of nearly 2 squares of around 5 kV. Note how the current lags behind the applied voltage.
