In a turbine engine DC capacitor discharge ignition system, where are the high voltage pulses formed?

  1. At the breaker.

  2. At the triggering transformer.

  3. At the rectifier.

  4. In the engine's power control unit.

The correct answer is: At the triggering transformer.

The high voltage pulses in a turbine engine DC capacitor discharge ignition system are formed at the triggering transformer. The breaker and rectifier are not involved in the formation of the pulses, and the engine's power control unit is responsible for regulating the engine's power, not creating high voltage pulses. It is important to distinguish between the components and their specific functions when answering this question.
