Description
An ignition transformer is a specialized transformer that converts a lower voltage input to a high-voltage output, typically in the range of thousands of volts, to create a spark for igniting gas or oil burners. This spark is essential for igniting the fuel/air mixture in these applications.
• Function: Ignition transformers generate the high-voltage pulse needed to create a spark, which in turn ignites the fuel-air mixture in burner
• Applications: These transformers are commonly used in:
• Gas and oil burners: They provide the spark necessary to ignite the fuel/air mixture.
• Industrial furnaces: Similar to burners, ignition transformers are used to ignite fuels in these industrial settings.
