The high-energy igniter works on the principle of storing an electrical charge in a capacitor and discharging it via an ignition tip to produce electrical sparks with sufficient energy to ignite oil particles or gas.
When the high-energy system is supplied with power by connecting it to the power supply, the high-energy control system regulates the necessary power to the primary side of the transformer.
This power limitation in relation to the output energy serves to prevent the high energy igniter from overheating. An overheating protection circuit is additionally provided to prevent damage to the unit in case of very intensive use. By switching on, the primary winding of the transformer is supplied with electrical energy, which induces a high voltage at the secondary winding. This high voltage is rectified and charges a capacitor.
When the voltage of the capacitor reaches the threshold voltage of the spark gap, the gap is ionised. The discharge current flows from the capacitor via the high-energy cable to the spark gap.
By releasing the energy as a spark at the spark tip, the storage capacitor is completely discharged.
