ABSTRACT:
A system for detecting spark in an igniter for a gas turbine engine. An igniter generates a plasma, or spark, somewhat similar to an automotive spark plug. In the invention, an inductive pick-up is positioned adjacent the igniter, to detect current pulses in the igniter, to thereby infer the presence of spark. The pick-up can take the form of a coil embedded in a mounting bracket which is used to fasten the igniter to the engine.
