Brahma Ignition transformer TSC1 15900001

The Brahma TSC1 15900001 is a capacitive discharge ignition transformer designed for continuous operation in gas burners. It operates on a 220–240 V supply at 50–60 Hz, delivering a 20 kV secondary voltage with a discharge frequency of 25 Hz and energy of 2 mJ. The transformer has a plastic housing with epoxy resin insulation, an IP20 protection rating, and weighs 80 g. It features quick-release connections for power (6.35x0.8) and high voltage (2.8x0.5), and supports an ignition cable up to 2 m and a power cable up to 1 m.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, ensure the supply voltage, frequency, and secondary voltage match the burner's requirements. The mounting position is flexible, but the transformer must be installed in a location that allows proper grounding and avoids proximity to other cables to minimize interference. Verify the connection types (e.g., quick-release) and cable lengths are compatible with the existing wiring.

Common failures in capacitive discharge ignition transformers include loss of spark or weak spark due to insulation breakdown, internal short circuits, or damaged connections. Symptoms on the burner include failure to ignite, intermittent ignition, or no spark at all. Check the high-voltage cable for damage, ensure connections are secure, and verify the transformer is receiving the correct supply voltage.
