Danfoss Ignition transformer EBI4C1PS 052F4048

The Danfoss EBI4C1PS ignition transformer, SKU 052F4048, is a component used in burner control systems to generate the high voltage required for ignition. It measures 95 mm in length, 80 mm in width, and 55 mm in height, with a net weight of 0.34 kg. This model is manufactured in Denmark by Danfoss. It is designed to provide a spark across the ignition electrode gap during the burner start sequence, operating only during the ignition period until the flame is established.

When selecting an ignition transformer of this type, verify the primary voltage (e.g., 230 V, 110 V, or 24 V), secondary voltage and current rating, duty cycle (intermittent or continuous), mounting arrangement, and terminal type against the burner manufacturer's specification. Ensure the high-tension cable is silicone-insulated and in good condition, as a damaged cable can cause spark leakage. Confirm the correct mounting orientation and cable routing to prevent overheating or tracking.

Typical failures of ignition transformers include internal short circuits, open windings, or insulation breakdown, which may result in no spark, weak spark, or intermittent ignition. The burner may fail to light or lock out after repeated ignition attempts. Check the high-tension cable for cracks or hardening, as these can cause spark leakage to earth, mimicking a transformer fault. Verify the primary voltage supply and the condition of the ignition electrode before replacing the transformer.
