Ignition chain

In blasting technology, an ignition chain is the name given to several consecutively arranged ignition elements that enable an effective charge to be detonated . Ignition chains can also contain ignition elements. The term is to be distinguished from the ignition chain, which enables the burning or the deflagration of an active charge. Usually, explosive charges are detonating and therefore ignited. Propellant charges burn down and, in contrast, are ignited.
