	That's the way they do work; the interruptor/vibrator or whatever opens
the primary circuit after a current is flowing and the resultant high
peak voltage is transformed into an even higher one by the turns ratio
of the secondary/primary!  A capacitor is often placed across the
interruptor to prevent the voltage from rising so high that arcing
occurs and the current isn't interrupted.
