ABSTRACT:
In a capacitive discharge type ignition apparatus, in which an ignition transformer is used, the impedance of the secondary winding of the ignition transformer is comparatively large. This means the power loss is large and the efficiency, in applying a high power voltage to an igniter plug, is lowered. In this invention, a low impedance bypass circuit is connected in parallel circuit with the secondary winding of the ignition transformer, so that the spark current flows through the bypass circuit. By this arrangement, the power loss in the secondary winding is made to be substantially zero. Thus, a powerful spark is generated in the igniter plug efficiently, reliably and with simple circuitry.
