A capacitive discharge ignition system has first and second bypass elements. The bypass elements are controlled to effect equal charging from the positive and negative portions of the generator alternating power output, and to provide conductive paths for the ignition current outside the generator winding. This lessens current-induced generation of heat in the generator winding.
