Brahma Electrode K3,0 ALV 8-60.200 12430201

Brahma Electrode K3,0 ALV 8-60.200 is an ignition and ionization electrode for gas burners. It has a total length of 274 mm, with an electrode rod diameter of 3 mm. The ceramic insulator is 8 mm in diameter and 60 mm long, and the plug for the ignition cable is 6 mm. This electrode is resistant to soot and is designed to withstand cracking of the ceramic insulator.

When selecting a replacement electrode of this kind, compare the overall length, rod diameter, and bend to the original. Ensure the ceramic insulator diameter and length match, as well as the plug size for the ignition cable. The mounting flange type and the specific burner series must be compatible. Measure the spark gap if it is an ignition electrode, and verify the electrode's positioning in the combustion head.

Typical failures include erosion of the tip, cracking of the ceramic insulator, soot buildup, or a drifting spark gap. These issues can cause ignition problems, such as delayed ignition or failure to light. The burner may also lose the flame signal if the ionization electrode is faulty, leading to safety shutdowns. Regular inspection is recommended to detect these signs early.
