Parasitic currents shunting up to one-half of the total discharge current were detected using magnetic probes on a Filippov-type plasma focus facility with a maximum total current of 1 MA and stored energy of 80 kJ. The measured time dependence of neutron emission from the discharge indicates that the parameters of the neutron pulse are closely related to those of the imploding current sheath.
