The current division between the inner and the outer arrays is one of the key factors that impact the implosion dynamics and modes of nested wire array. This paper presents the first quantitative measurements of current division for nested wire array Z pinch on the Qiang Guang-I pulsed power facility. In experiments, the nested wire arrays, made of 3.8 μm-diameter tungsten wires, were 20 mm in height and 8 mm/16 mm in diameter for inner/outer array. Measurements for loads consisting of 42/21 wires in inner/outer array were compared with that of 21/42 in inner/outer array. Data of current versus time at various radial positions were obtained using magnetic probes until 20 ns before the current peak. Results show that the currents in inner and outer arrays increase during the rise of the driving current, the proportion of current in outer array decreases and that in inner array increases, while the current in outer array, for loads with 21/42 wires in inner/outer array, was larger than those with 42/21 wires in inner/outer array.
