The ignition energy is supplied by the mains and stored into the capacitor C. PHASE 2 At the end of the phase 1, the voltage across the capacitor C reaches the avalanche threshold of the Zener diode Z. Then, a current flows through this Zener diode into the gate of the thyristor Th which is triggered. The thyristor turn on generates an alternating current through the capacitor C. Its positive parts flow through the capacitor C, the primary of the HV transformer and the thyristor Th. Its negative parts of the current flow through C, D and the primary of the H.V transformer. 4/6 FLC21 FAMILY RS RESISTANCE CALCULATION The Rs resistance allows, in addition with the capacitance C, to adjust the spark frequency and to limit the current supplied by the mains. This resistance allows the thyristor triggering in any requested cases. In worst cases, the system must fire when the a.c. line voltage is minimum while the breakdown voltage VBO and the current IBO of the FLC are maximum. The maximum Rs value is equal to: Rs max = (V AC min. 2 ) − [V BO max .(1 + α T .( T amb − 25 ))] k .
