Previous published results of closed vessel investigations indicated that classical primers (electric or percussion with black powder bedding) when used with LOVA propellants cause unstable burning, deflagration or even lack of ignition. CPG is one of the most reliable ignition sources which make possible a reduction of temperature gradient effect and control combustion process. Comparable tests of black powder and plasma ignition in closed vessel with conventional NC propellant were done. Shorter ignition time while using plasma was achieved.
