Abstract
A superior ignitability is realized assuredly by specifying at least either of a relation in magnitude between absolute values of a plus-side voltage and a minus-side voltage and a relation in magnitude between absolute values of a plus-side current and a minus-side current when alternating current power is introduced. An ignition system includes a spark plug, a discharging power supply which applies a voltage to a spark gap of the spark plug to thereby generate an electric spark discharge and an alternating current power supply which introduces alternating current power to an electric spark generated by the electric spark discharge to generate an alternating current plasma.
