Brahma Ignition transformer TD2LTCA 15911105

The Brahma TD2LTCA ignition transformer (SKU 15911105) is a compact, lightweight device designed for use in gas and liquid fuel burners. It operates on a supply voltage of 220–240 V at 50–60 Hz, delivering a secondary voltage of 12–12 kV with a secondary current of 55 mA. The transformer features a 100% duty cycle, built-in short circuit protection, and a ferritic core, ensuring high efficiency and ignition power. It has 2 poles and 2 contacts, with a recommended spark distance of 3–5 mm and a maximum ignition cable length of 1.5 m. The standard power cable length is 560 mm, and the unit weighs 0.36 kg net, with protection rating IP00 and output voltage frequency of 6–10 kHz. It complies with EMC filter directive 2004/108/EC and low voltage directive 73/23/EEC.

Ignition transformers of this type are selected by matching the supply voltage, secondary voltage, and current to the burner's requirements. The mounting and connecting systems vary, so ensure the physical dimensions and contact configuration align with the existing setup. Before ordering, verify the number of contacts and the type of high-voltage connection, as well as the length of the ignition cable needed. Installation should follow the manufacturer's guidelines, ensuring proper grounding and secure connections.

Common failures in ignition transformers include short circuits, open circuits, or insulation breakdown, often caused by moisture, overheating, or voltage surges. Symptoms may include weak or no spark, intermittent ignition, or burner lockout. Check for visible damage, measure the secondary voltage with a suitable probe, and inspect the ignition cable and spark gap for wear or incorrect spacing.
