What Is an Igniter?
An Igniter is a device used to ignite fuel. They are commonly used for igniting sources such as liquefied petroleum gas or gasoline.
There are two broad categories: magnet type and battery type, which further include subtypes like magneto-type igniters, battery-operated igniters, mechanically controlled igniters, and electronically controlled igniters.
These devices generate strong sparks through electrical discharge, essential for creating high-voltage currents. Their applications range from igniting oil heaters to starting vehicle engines, making them integral in both household and commercial settings. The reliability and efficiency of igniters are particularly important in safety-critical systems, such as in automotive or industrial equipment.
