Direct observations were made of the transformation of the explosive using a flat magnetocumulative generator. The generator was powered by a capacitor bank with a capacitance of 6000 microf. The explosive was plastic and the alloy TG 50/50 was also used for the charge. The experiments performed clearly show that under the action of the magnetic pressure the process of explosive transformation can develop in the explosive charge in the generator, which must be taken into account when the generator is designed.
