Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0178470A1] The invention concerns plasma torch (1) comprising at least two electrodes (7, 8) separated by an insulating cylindrical case (6) defining an internal volume (22). Said torch is characterised in that the electrodes are separated by a sufficiently reduced distance (D) to allow the occurrence of a priming arc between the electrodes (7, 8) when a supply voltage fed by a generator (19) is applied between said electrodes. The invention is useful for producing igniters for ammunitions.
