Abstract
In a method for creating a spark across a spark gap, in particular for igniting a flammable liquid to measure its flash point, by means of a spark generator which comprises an ignition transformer, wherein the spark generator, on the primary side of the ignition transformer, comprises at least one DC voltage source and, on the secondary side of the ignition transformer, comprises two electrodes delimiting the spark gap to be formed, wherein voltage pulses from the DC voltage source are applied to the ignition transformer on the primary side thereof, which voltage pulses generate ignition voltage pulses on the secondary side, the ignition transformer is operated in a first phase according to the flyback converter principle and in a subsequent, second phase according to the forward converter principle.
