Scientific paper

A simple self-consistent model of a high-temperature turbulent current sheet (HTCS) is considered. The anomalous character of plasma conductivity in a sheet is assumed to be due to gradient instabilities. The possibility of a low threshold of their excitation is demonstrated by an example of temperature-drift instability. Application of the HTCS model of the 'hot' or 'main' phase of a solar flare is discussed. The model consistently explains many observed properties of this phase.
