Brahma Ignition transformer T8 15000081

The Brahma T8 ignition transformer (SKU 15000081) is a column-type transformer with a pressed metal body coated with enamel and polyester resin insulation. It operates on a 220 V, 50 Hz supply, consuming 460 W, with an input effective current of 2.1 A. The transformer provides a secondary current of 33 mA and an ignition current of 35 mA, with a duty cycle of 33% in 3 minutes. It has 2 poles, measures 101x80x150 mm (10.1x8x15 cm), weighs 3.5 kg, and includes a standard power cable length of 700 mm. The protection class is IP 00.

Parts of this type are selected by matching the supply voltage, frequency, and mounting system to the burner's requirements. The transformer's dimensions and mounting configuration must align with the existing bracket or enclosure. Ensure the secondary current and ignition current are compatible with the electrode gap and ignition system. The standard power cable length and connector type (screw or 6.3 mm terminal) should be verified for proper connection.

When such transformers fail, common symptoms include weak or no spark at the electrodes, intermittent ignition, or tripping of the burner's safety lockout. Failure may result from insulation breakdown, shorted windings, or moisture ingress due to low IP rating. Check for visible damage, measure primary and secondary voltages, and inspect the high-voltage cables for cracks or loose connections.
