Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1103720A2] The method involves storing electrical energy in a magnetic field built up by a primary current, whereby the field breaks down when the primary current is interrupted and a high ignition voltage is generated by induction. A control signal gives the desired value for the primary current and the primary current is limited to this value by a current regulator. Independent claims are also included for the following: an arrangement for current regulation of an ignition system for an internal combustion engine.
