Hi.
What to expect at the secondary winding terminals of a plain spark plug high voltage coil if the primary is fed with sinusoidal 12VAC ? From HV terminal to common chassis, will it arc spark 5mm ? 10mm? 15mm ? nothing ?
This is an image from a triple coil double-terminals, perhaps for automotive "V6 lost spark mode" Consider only a single. (Picture borrowed from the web)
A Kettering-type coil with a typical turns ratio of 100:1 is only going to give an output voltage of 12 x 100 = 1200V at modest sinusoidal AC frequencies, so a very small arc if any.
