Abstract

The ignition apparatus includes: an ignition plug; a plurality of high voltage devices each configured to generate the high voltage and apply the high voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode; a leakage current detection device configured to detect a leakage current flowing between the first electrode and the second electrode; and a control device configured to control respective operations of the plurality of high voltage devices and the leakage current detection device. When the control device determines that leakage is present between the first electrode and the second electrode based on the leakage current detected by the leakage current detection device, the control device causes each of the plurality of high voltage devices to apply the high voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode at the same period.
