Brahma Ignition transformer T16/N 15363001

The Brahma T16/N ignition transformer (SKU 15363001) is a dual-spark, step-up transformer designed for burners using liquid or gaseous fuels. It operates on a 220 V - 50 Hz supply, delivering a secondary voltage of 8–8 kV with a secondary current of 20 mA. The transformer has a duty cycle of 33% in 3 minutes, consumes 240 W, and weighs 2 kg. Its shell-shaped magnetic circuit and polyester resin insulation ensure compact, any-position mounting. The unit features two high-voltage outputs, a radio interference suppression screen, and screw terminals for electrical connection.

When selecting a replacement ignition transformer of this type, verify the supply voltage, frequency, and output voltage/current ratings match the burner's requirements. Check the mounting system and dimensions to ensure compatibility with the existing bracket or housing. Confirm the number of high-voltage outputs and the type of high-voltage connectors (e.g., screw, cylindrical) match the ignition cables. Also, ensure the duty cycle and power consumption are suitable for the application's operating cycle.

Common failures in ignition transformers include internal short circuits or open windings, leading to weak or no spark at the electrodes. This may cause the burner to fail to ignite or to ignite intermittently. Physical damage to the housing or insulation can result in arcing or electrical leakage. Check for signs of overheating, cracks, or burn marks, and measure the secondary voltage with a suitable high-voltage probe to confirm output.
