Experimental results on study of magnetic flux compression efficiency with a plasma shell, formed at electric explosion of a multi-wire cylindrical frame are presented. Liners of 70 mm diameter consisting of 48 tungsten wires of 11 {mu}m diameter were used. The liner was put into longitudinal quasi-stationary magnetic field with induction of 0.45 T and powered with the current having amplitude up to 1.5 MA at rise time of {approx}1 {mu}s. A magneto-optical detector recorded magnetic fields in the center of the liner system, which exceeded initial value of the magnetic field in a factor of 10.
