Brahma Ignition transformer TCD2FAV 15930062

The Brahma TCD2FAV ignition transformer (SKU 15930062) is a high-frequency electronic generator designed for gas burners in domestic, commercial, and industrial installations. It operates on a 230 V supply at 50–60 Hz, consuming 29 W, and delivers a secondary voltage of 4–13 kV with a secondary current of 30 mA. The transformer features a ferritic core, a duty cycle of 33%, and an output voltage frequency of 10–12 kHz. It has 2 poles, weighs 0.25 kg net, and includes built-in short circuit protection. Its dimensions are compatible with Brahma's TC and TD series, ensuring high efficiency and ignition power.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, ensure the supply voltage, frequency, and secondary voltage/current ratings match the burner's requirements. The physical dimensions and mounting configuration must be compatible with the existing bracket or housing; this model is designed to fit Brahma TC and TD series transformers. Check the number of high-voltage output contacts (single or double) and the connector type to match the ignition cable. Also verify the duty cycle and recommended spark gap (typically 3–5 mm) to ensure proper operation within the burner's control cycle.

Common failures in ignition transformers of this kind include internal short circuits, open windings, or breakdown of insulation, often due to moisture, overheating, or voltage surges. Symptoms on the burner include no spark at the electrode, weak or intermittent sparking, or the burner failing to ignite despite the controller signaling. Check for visible damage, measure the secondary voltage with a suitable probe, and verify the primary supply voltage and continuity. Also inspect the ignition cable and electrode gap, as these can cause similar issues.
