Fida Power cable PBF0016

The Fida Power cable PBF0016 is an ignition cable designed for use in burner and boiler systems. It connects the burner control or terminal strip to the primary terminals of the ignition transformer, operating in the primary circuit. This cable meets electrical safety standards and is flexible for easy installation. It is compatible with Fida transformer models that use the PBF0016 connector.

When selecting a replacement power cable for an ignition transformer, ensure the number of conductors (typically two for single-phase supply), the cross-section adequate for the transformer's inrush current, the insulation voltage rating (usually 230 V or 110 V), and the connector pattern at both ends match the original. The cable must also withstand the ambient temperature near hot surfaces, so check the insulation material's thermal rating. Before ordering, compare these specifications with the existing cable and the transformer's requirements.

A damaged power cable can cause intermittent ignition or spurious lockouts that mimic transformer failure. Inspect the cable, especially near the terminal ends, for broken conductors or cracked insulation due to bending stress. Overheating or short circuits may occur if the insulation is compromised, leading to equipment malfunction.
