The mounting bracket is also visible on the side, and the green circular sticker is prominent on the main body of the transformer.

Configurazione e installazione

Installation of the ignition transformer should only be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or electrician. Incorrect installation can lead to equipment damage, fire, or serious injury.

  1. Disconnessione dell'alimentazione: Before starting, ensure all electrical power to the oil burner and heating system is completely disconnected at the main service panel. Verify with a voltagetester.
  2. Access Old Transformer: Locate the existing ignition transformer on your Becket A, AF, or AFG burner. Note its mounting position and wiring connections.
  3. Scollegare il cablaggio: Scollegare con cautela il primario (basso volumetage) e secondario (alto volumetage) wiring from the old transformer. Label wires if necessary to ensure correct reconnection.
  4. Rimuovere il vecchio trasformatore: Unmount the old transformer from its bracket or housing.
  5. Montare il nuovo trasformatore: Mount the new Allanson 2721-628G transformer in the same location and orientation as the old one. Ensure it is securely fastened.
  6. Collegare il cablaggio:
    • Connect the primary (120V) input wires to the designated terminals on the new transformer. Refer to the burner's wiring diagram for specific connections.
    • Connect the secondary (high voltage) output wires to the electrodes of the oil burner. Ensure a secure and proper connection to the spark gap.
  7. Verifica connessioni: Double-check all wiring connections for tightness and correctness according to the burner's specifications. Ensure no wires are pinched or exposed.
  8. Ripristinare l'alimentazione e testare: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the burner. Initiate a call for heat and observe the ignition sequence. The transformer should produce a strong, consistent spark.

Principio di funzionamento

The Allanson Ignition Transformer operates by stepping up the incoming 120V AC line voltage to a high voltage (10,000V) at a low current (23mA). This high voltage is then applied across the burner electrodes, creating an electrical arc (spark) that ignites the atomized fuel oil. The transformer is designed for intermittent duty, meaning it only operates during the ignition cycle of the burner, typically for a few seconds until stable combustion is established.

Manutenzione

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your ignition transformer. All maintenance should be performed by a qualified technician with power disconnected.

  • Ispezione annuale: During routine burner servicing, inspect the transformer for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or overheating (discoloration).
  • Controllo del cablaggio: Verify that all primary and secondary wiring connections are secure and free from fraying or insulation damage.
  • Pulizia: Keep the transformer and its surroundings free from dust, dirt, and oil residue, which can impede heat dissipation and lead to premature failure.
  • Condizione dell'elettrodo: While not directly part of the transformer, ensure the burner electrodes are clean, properly gapped, and free from cracks or carbon buildup, as their condition directly impacts the transformer's performance.

Risoluzione dei problemi

If your oil burner is experiencing ignition issues, the ignition transformer may be a contributing factor. Always ensure power is disconnected before inspecting components.

ProblemaPossibile causaSoluzione
No Spark at Electrodes
  • Nessuna alimentazione al trasformatore
  • Cablaggio allentato o scollegato
  • Internal transformer failure
  • Faulty primary control
  • Controllare l'interruttore automatico e il cablaggio.
  • Ispezionare e proteggere tutte le connessioni.
  • Test transformer with a high-voltage tester (qualified technician only). Replace if faulty.
  • Consult burner manual for primary control troubleshooting.
Scintilla debole o intermittente
  • Dirty or improperly gapped electrodes
  • Contaminated transformer terminals
  • Aging or failing transformer
  • Clean and adjust burner electrodes.
  • Clean transformer terminals and high-voltage fili.
  • Test transformer output. Replace if output is low.
Transformer Overheating/Humming
  • Short circuit in secondary wiring or electrodes
  • Internal transformer fault
  • Operating beyond rated duty cycle
  • Inspect electrodes and high-voltage wiring for shorts.
  • Sostituire il trasformatore.
  • Ensure primary control is cycling transformer correctly.

Se le procedure di risoluzione dei problemi non risolvono il problema, si consiglia di contattare un tecnico HVAC qualificato per un'ulteriore diagnosi e riparazione.
