![]() ![]() To determine the actual voltage required to jump a spark plug gap in a running engine there are many conditions to evaluate. The maximum available voltage of an ignition coil is typically advertised at 40kv or greater which is important to consider, however it should not be the only factor when selecting an ignition system because voltages required to initiate combustion are typically significantly less and rarely approach a peak or maximum value. Breakdown voltage is the voltage required to initiate a spark between two conductors known as a spark gap, one of the basic principles of a spark plug. The following information is an attempt to briefly explain the primary components of a spark. When the basic fundamentals of a spark are understood the advantages of DX ignition are clear.
