1. An ignition system for a burner comprising:

  • a low voltage electrical energy storage device;

    circuit means for supplying low voltage, periodic current from said energy storage device;

    a step-up transformer for converting said low voltage periodic current to a higher voltage output, the transformer having a significant leakage reactance due to leakage flux which makes up a substantial portion of the total flux through the transformer;

    a capacitor charged by the higher voltage output from the step-up transformer; and

    an output circuit for applying the capacitor voltage to an electrical igniter.
