oil burner transformer
An oil burner transformer is a critical component in heating systems that provides the necessary high voltage for ignition in oil-fired heating equipment. This specialized transformer converts standard line voltage into the high voltage required to create an electric arc between electrodes, which ignites the fuel oil spray in the combustion chamber. The transformer typically steps up the standard 120 or 240-volt input to approximately 10,000 volts output, ensuring reliable ignition under various operating conditions. Built with robust insulation and weather-resistant materials, these transformers are designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments. The core is typically constructed from high-grade silicon steel laminations to minimize energy losses and ensure efficient operation. Modern oil burner transformers incorporate advanced safety features, including thermal protection and short circuit prevention mechanisms, to protect both the equipment and users. They are engineered to maintain consistent voltage output despite input fluctuations, ensuring dependable burner operation throughout the heating season. The compact design allows for easy installation and maintenance, while the sealed construction protects internal components from moisture and contamination.
