ABSTRACT:
An improved high voltage pulse power supply for a spark plug test fixture. AC line voltage is applied through a voltage step-down transformer, a half wave rectifier and an electronic switch to the primary winding of a conventional ignition coil. During the rise time of positive half cycles, the rectified voltage is applied through the electronic switch to the ignition coil primary. As the positive half cycle begins to fall towards the zero crossover, the electronic switch is opened. The magnetic field collapse in the ignition coil produces a high voltage negative pulse which is applied to a spark plug under test. The peak voltage of the negative pulse is adjusted by controlling the peak current in the ignition coil primary.
