In an ignition device having high voltage wiring, the ignition device which prevents and/or suppresses the occurrence of serious damage due to an electric shock is provided. In the ignition device which includes: an ignition plug that generates a plasma discharge; a DC/AC conversion device that outputs AC power toward the ignition plug; a DC power supply device which is arranged in a different package from that of the DC/AC conversion device and outputs DC power to the DC/AC conversion device via wiring; and a power circuit breaker that conducts and/or interrupts the output of said DC power supply device, the power circuit breaker interrupts the output of the DC power supply device at least once between ignition operation and ignition operation.

An ignition system of a combustion engine has a start-up adjustment curve with a maximum rotational speed, an operating adjustment curve and a switch-over device for switching between curves. The start-up adjustment curve is selected in the case of a start-up of the combustion engine. A rotational speed curve is divided into adjacent cycles. The start of the first cycle is the point in time of the second ignition after the start-up and the start of the subsequent cycles is in each case the point in time of ignition at which the rotational speed is less than in the case of the subsequent point in time of ignition. The criterion for switching to the operating adjustment curve is whether the average of the rotational speeds of successive cycles differs by less than a first tolerance value.

An ignition control device according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to, based on a pulse signal to be induced in an ignition coil in accordance with rotation of an internal combustion engine, cause a voltage to be supplied to an ignition plug included in the internal combustion engine, to be generated in the ignition coil. The ignition control device includes: a switching element configured to energize the ignition coil; a biasing unit configured to bias control terminals of the switching element so that the switching element is turned on when the pulse signal is induced; a state detecting unit configured to detect a biased state of the switching element; and a control unit configured to set a timing for controlling de-energization of the ignition coil in response to a result of detection performed by the state detecting unit, and to control the switching element to be turned off in accordance with the timing.
