IGNITION

DESCRIPTION
TRANSFORMERS Ignition transformers series T11 and T16 are suitable for
fluid or gaseous fuel burners.
Ignition transformers series T13 and T17, with 100% duty-
Type T11 and T13 cycle, are particularly suitable for the application on
industrial machines (e.g. water cleaners).

FEATURES
Followings are the main features of this series:
- various connection and fixing systems;
- high discharge power (they are particularly suitable in all
those applications in which long ignition wires are
required);
- high efficiency and ignition power.

TECHNICAL DATA
- Supply voltage: 220V - 50Hz
(different voltage and frequency values are available on
Type T16 and T17 request)
- Operating temperature range: -10°C +35°C
- Isolation: polyester resin
- Recommended distance between
the electrodes: 3 ÷ 5 mm
- Supply cable standard length: 550 mm

(1) : short circuit secondary.

CONSTRUCTION
The magnetic circuit across the transformer is mantle-
shaped (see general features in Figure 1 and Figure 2).
The secondary windings are center grounded.
The transformer is provided with a radio interference
suppression shield, which for its effectiveness must be
connected to a good ground.
Two fire painted caps cover the coils and form a whole with
the magnetic circuit.
Each transformer is detected by the fixed letter T
(transformer), by a series of numbers that indicate the
model and possibly by a letter of the alphabet which
determines a particular fixing system:
