<p>An ignition system for an internal combustion engine comprises an ignition coil (7) having a primary winding (6) and a secondary winding (10), a switch (8) for interrupting current flow in the primary winding (6) at an ignition instant, and an overvoltage protection circuit (16), including a threshold value switch (17) and an auxiliary winding (15) which is constructionally combined with and inductively coupled to the ignition coil (7). In the event of an excessive voltage across the secondary winding, the protection circuit causes the transistor switch (8) to conduct. <IMAGE></p> |
