Investigations of reflective discharge in hydrogen medium using sectioned hollow cathode are carried out. As constructive elements of the hollow cathode an alloy Zr50V50Hx able to absorb hydrogen reversibly was used. It has been shown that in case of applying of metal-hydride hollow cathode the penetration of plasma in the hollow occurs deeper. The possibility to operate the plasma penetration into the hollow cathode by means of potential variation on its sections was investigated.
