The invention discloses a plasma generator with a metal wire structure embedded in the propellant powder, which is characterized by comprising an electrode stem, a nut pressing sheet, a cathode plug, a capillary tube, a propellant grain and a metal wire, a composite structure mode that the metal wire is embedded into the propellant grain is adopted, and the formula composition, the outer diameter, the hole number, the inner hole diameter and the length of the propellant grain are adjusted, so that the efficient ablation combustion-supporting effect on propellant powder during electric explosion of the metal wire can be achieved; the structural mode that the inner wall of the capillary tube is coated with energetic substances is adopted, and effective ignition substances and ignition pressure of plasmas can be adjusted and controlled by selecting the coating substances and adjusting the thickness of a coating layer; the structural mode that the multiple metal wires penetrate through the propellant grain is adopted, the material, the diameter and the number of the metal wires are optimized, and the strength of electric explosion can be well controlled. The problems of multi-parameter accurate adjustment and control of the plasma generator and control and efficiency of plasma ignition are solved.
