Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1148314A2] An electrothermally-ignited cartridge with a difficultly-ignitable main powder propellant charge (4) has tubes (14-16) of an optically transparent second charge running axially through charge (4) and surrounding electrically conductive wires (11-13). A cartridge (1) with electrothermal ignition has: (i) a casing (5) at least partly filled with a first powder propellant charge (4) and fitted with a base (6); (ii) a high-voltage electrode (9) is fitted to the base (6); (ii) an electrode (9) connected inside casing (5) to electrical conducting wires (11-13) running axially through the powder charge (4) to a contact (18) at the far end of casing (5); (iii) wires (11-13) running at least in part through tubes (14-16) consisting of a second powder charge; and (iv) the second powder charge optically transparent.
