Abstract
The experimental investigations of the dependency of realization nature of the electric discharge in composite materials with the conductivity 10 Sm/m < < 105 Sm/m on the power input mode were carried out. The work demonstrates that for the examined interval of various materials samples electroconductivity, the realization of both the electric breakdown in them, and the electric explosion that results in the receipt of micropowders which size is determined by the generator and conductor parameters is possible.
