Brahma Ignition transformer TCD2FA 15930064

The Brahma TCD2FA is an electronic ignition transformer designed for gas and liquid fuel burners. It operates on a 230 V supply and generates a high-frequency output voltage of 4–4 kV at 30 mA, with a peak voltage of 13 kV. The transformer features a duty cycle of 33%, consumes 29 W, and weighs 250 g. It includes two high-voltage outputs, a built-in filter, and short-circuit protection, complying with EN 61558-1:2005+A1:2009 and EN 61558-2-3:2010 standards.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, ensure the supply voltage, secondary voltage, and current ratings match the burner's requirements. The mounting system and connector types (e.g., triangular SP1 or 6.35x0.8 for power, plug-in ø4 mm for ignition cable) must be compatible with the existing wiring and housing. Verify the physical dimensions and series compatibility (e.g., TC and TD series) to ensure proper fit. The ignition cable length and spark distance should also be considered for installation.

Common failure modes for ignition transformers include internal short circuits, open windings, or breakdown of insulation, leading to weak or no spark. Symptoms may include burner ignition failure, intermittent operation, or visible damage to the transformer housing. Check for correct supply voltage, continuity of the high-voltage cable, and proper spark gap. If the transformer overheats or trips, inspect for overvoltage or excessive duty cycle.
