Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0481609A2] A high tension exciter for use in a gas turbine ignition system. The exciter comprises a power supply for charging an energy store (12). The energy store (12) is periodically discharged, via a solid state switch (13), into a pulse transformer (15). The pulse transformer (15) has a step-up action, and transforms the voltage from the energy store (12) into a voltage suitable for operating an ignition plug of a gas turbine engine. <IMAGE>
