ELECTRONIC IGNITION
TRANSFORMERS
Types TC....A. TC….S.
TD….A. TD….S.
DESCRIPTION
This range of electronic ignition transformers is characterized
by extremely limited overall dimensions and is particularly
suitable to equip forced draught burners for gas and light or
heavy oil, for civil and industrial applications. The TC..S. and
TD..S. models are particularly suitable to equip water
cleaners.
The TD… models have reduced overall dimensions and
therefore they are useful to equip applications with little room
available.
The working principle is due to the generation of high
frequency voltage by means of an electronic oscillator; the
resulting voltage is then increased by using a winding with
ferrite nucleus. In this way it is possible to reach output
voltage values up to 15 KV.
All types can be supplied with filter to minimize the emission
of electromagnetic interference. In this way this series of
electronic transformers is in compliance with the directive
89/336/EEC without the use of external filters.
The transformers of this series are suitable for intermittent
operation, i.e. 50% duty cycle (TC..A. and TD..A.), or for
permanent operation (TC..S. and TD..S.).
FEATURES
Followings are the main features of this range of transformers:
− available with inbuilt anti-emission filter;
− limited weight and overall dimensions;
− high efficiency and ignition power;
− low consumption;
− single pole or dual pole high voltage output;
− different fixing and connecting systems.

CONNECTION
This range of ignition transformers has been designed in
order to be used with control boxes of our own production,
which can be mounted on the ignition devices by means of
fixing screws type M4x45, as shown in Fig.6.

ANTI-EMISSION FILTER
With particular reference to the use of ignition transformers on
oil or gas burners, you will find here below some remarks
about the application of these devices, resulting from the
research carried out by the Brahma Testing Laboratory. This
Laboratory, in compliance with EN55014 and with CISPR 16-
1, is adequately equipped for the measuring of
electromagnetic interference on boilers, burners, warm air
generators and heating systems in general.
According to the directive 89/336/EEC, the above mentioned
products are subjected to the measuring of
conducted electromagnetic interference in the power network,
irradiated by the supply cable; the measuring is carried out on
the basis of a frequency range from 150KHz to 30MHz in
case of conducted interference, and from 30 to 300MHz in
case of irradiated interference.
Fig. 6 Electromagnetic interference is mainly due to power variations
in the electric circuits (i.e. current peaks); the greater and
The connection of high voltage cables can be of two types, faster these variations, the higher the interference. In this
according to the terminals used inside the isolators: case, the main source of interference is the…
