Brahma Ignition transformer TSC2 15900802

The Brahma TSC2 15900802 is an ignition transformer designed for gas burners, providing high discharge energy. It operates with a supply voltage of 230 V and generates a secondary voltage of 8 kV. The transformer has a duty cycle of 100%, a discharge frequency of 25 Hz, and a discharge energy of 2 mJ. It features a plastic body with epoxy resin filling for insulation, weighs 0.08 kg, and has an ingress protection rating of IP20. The maximum ignition cable length is 2 m, and the maximum power cable length is 1 m.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, ensure the supply voltage and secondary voltage match the burner's requirements. The physical mounting and connection types (e.g., quick-release terminals) must be compatible with the existing wiring and housing. Check the maximum cable lengths to avoid exceeding limits that could reduce performance. The transformer can be installed in any position, but must be connected and disconnected only after power is fully off.

Typical failures of ignition transformers include internal short circuits or open windings, leading to no spark or weak spark at the electrode. This may cause the burner to fail to ignite or to ignite intermittently. Check for visible damage, overheating, or signs of arcing on the high-voltage cable. Also, verify that the cable length and routing do not introduce parasitic capacitance, which can reduce discharge energy.
