Research of Nested Wire Array Emission and Implosion on Angara-5-1

The results of the experiments performed on the Angara-5-1 facility of Z-pinch produced from wire arrays are presented. The models of liner implosion, i.e. prolonged plasma production and "plasma rainstorm" have found their confirmation. The effect of the inner array on the current distribution in the space between the arrays has been revealed.
