Abstract
A sensor for detecting characteristics of a flame includes a pair of electrodes that are spaced apart for passing an electric current through the flame. A pulse width modulator is coupled to the electrodes and generates an alternating current which flows through the flame. A controller operates the pulse width modulator to alter the duty cycle of the alternating current so that the average current through the flame is zero. Flame characteristic information is derived from the lengths of the positive and negative periods of the resultant alternating current.
