SK-22-2M
Ignition Unit
Description
SK-22-2M aircraft ignition unit
SK-22-2M is an aircraft ignition unit used to convert low-voltage DC power into high-voltage pulses for spark plugs in gas turbine engine ignition systems. The unit is intended for reliable ignition of the fuel-air mixture during engine start on the ground and, where applicable, during in-flight restart. In the supplied context, SK-22-2M is associated with aviation and industrial gas turbine equipment, including Mi-8 helicopters with TV3-117 engines and ground gas turbine installations.

Function of the SK-22-2M ignition unit
The main function of SK-22-2M is generation of high-voltage ignition pulses from the 27 V DC power supply. These pulses are sent to semiconductor surface-discharge spark plugs installed in the combustion chamber ignition system. The unit supports stable spark formation during engine starting conditions, including low-temperature starts and operating environments with vibration and electrical interference. Correct operation of the ignition unit is important for reliable gas turbine engine start sequence and restart capability.
Application on aviation and industrial gas turbines
SK-22-2M and related versions of the SK-22-2 family are used in aviation equipment, civil and military aircraft systems, and industrial gas turbine installations. In aviation, the unit is associated with gas turbine engines such as TV3-117 used on Mi-8 family helicopters, depending on engine and aircraft documentation. In industrial use, similar units may be installed on gas compressor and energy-sector gas turbine equipment, including NK-16ST-type installations according to the supplied context.
Two-channel ignition circuit
The unit has two independent and equivalent high-voltage output circuits. This configuration allows operation with two ignition plugs and provides functional redundancy within the ignition system. The supplied context describes SK-22-2M as a replacement or improved alternative to earlier SK-22-2K units. Related versions include SK-22-2K, SK-22-2KU and SK-22-2MK, but interchangeability should be confirmed through engine documentation, installation drawings and electrical interface requirements.
Construction of SK-22-2M
The SK-22-2M ignition unit is built in a sealed metal housing suitable for aviation operating conditions. Internal components may include induction coils, rectifiers, storage capacitors, activators and discharge elements, depending on exact modification. Electrical connection is made through aviation plug connectors, including 2RTT-type connector references in the supplied context. The unit is designed to withstand vibration, temperature variation and radio-interference conditions typical of engine compartments and gas turbine installations.
Identification and ordering of SK-22-2M
Before ordering SK-22-2M, the buyer should confirm the exact modification, engine type, aircraft or installation type, spark plug type, connector version and documentation requirements. It is also useful to confirm whether SK-22-2M is required specifically or whether SK-22-2K, SK-22-2KU or SK-22-2MK is acceptable. The unit may be required for engine start system repair, replacement of a defective ignition unit, overhaul stock or support of Mi-8 / TV3-117 and industrial gas turbine equipment.
Related equipment in this system: SK-22-2K, SD-55ANM-T, SPN-4-3T. These positions are linked by system function and are not presented as interchangeable.
Confirmed installation context includes Mi-8 / Mi-17 family helicopters. Exact applicability of the specific execution must be verified against the aircraft technical documentation.
