Abstract

In a three electrode arc plasma flame ignition device, the first electrode surrounds the second electrode and the first and second electrodes define between them an annular gap across which the potential from a first source can be discharged, and the third electrode is surrounded by the second electrode and is so arranged that a higher potential applied to it discharges in series across a gap between the third electrode and the second electrode and radially across the annular gap between the second electrode and the first electrode.
