Abstract: The ignition systems applied to internal combustion reciprocating engines have taken many forms, but they all had the same end purpose: to reliably ignite the fuel mixture inside the cylinder. To accomphsh this, ihe ignition system had to produee the following: 1. 30 to 40 KV at the spark plug electrodes 2. maintain Ihe spark for about 10 microseconds 3. a total spark energy of about 10 millijoules An ideal ignition system would perform its function reliably wilh minimum maintenance. It would not rapidly erode the spark plug gaps, sustain rapid wear or damage other components such as the plug transformers or the secondary leads.
