Investigation results of current pulse sharpening of multi-element disk generator with HE-charge diameter of 240 mm with electric exploded opening switch are presented. Both solid conductor (copper foil), and layer structure metal-dielectric were used in electric-exploded opening switch. Experimental results with three-element generator showed the possibility to form the current pulse of ~30 MA with characteristic rise time of ~1 mus in the load of ~1.5 nH. It is supposed to use ten-element generator with electric exploded opening switch as an energy source in EMIR complex for soft x-ray radiation generation at multi-wire liner implosion.
