Brahma Ignition transformer TC2LTCA 15911101

The Brahma TC2LTCA ignition transformer (SKU 15911101) is a compact, high-frequency electronic generator designed for gas and liquid fuel burners. It operates on a supply voltage of 110-120 V at 50/60 Hz, delivering a secondary voltage of 12-12 kV with a maximum output of 15 kV. The transformer features a 100% duty cycle, two poles, and a net weight of 0.42 kg. It includes built-in short circuit protection and complies with directive 2004/108/EC. The recommended spark distance is 3-5 mm, and the maximum ignition cable length is 1.5 m, with a standard power cable length of 560 mm. The output voltage frequency is 10 kHz, and the protection class is IP00.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, ensure the supply voltage, frequency, and secondary voltage match the burner's requirements. The transformer must have the correct number of high-voltage outputs (single or two-pin) and be compatible with the mounting and connecting systems used. Verify the physical dimensions and weight to fit the available space. Installation should follow national and European safety standards, and high-voltage cables must be routed away from other wires.

Typical failures of ignition transformers include loss of spark, intermittent ignition, or no ignition at all. This may be caused by internal short circuits, open windings, or damage from moisture or overheating. Check for visible signs of burning or cracking, and measure the output voltage with a suitable tester. Ensure the spark gap is within the recommended range and that the ignition cable is not damaged or excessively long.
