ALLANSON 2730-457 FERROMAGNETIC IGNITION TRANSFORMER

Description

The ALLANSON 2730-457 Ferromagnetic Ignition Transformer is a double pole unit engineered for constant duty applications, delivering the most reliable ignition source for commercial and industrial burners, specifically compatible with ACME WEATHERALL systems. It features a rated operating input voltage of 120V AC (108-132V range) at 50 Hz frequency, with a primary power rating of 250 VA and approximately 2.2A draw. The secondary output provides 10,000V RMS at 23mA short circuit current, ensuring robust spark generation with a mid-point ground configuration and optimal loading air gap of 1/8 to 3/16 inches. Built for durability, it operates reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +40°C (storage -40°C to +80°C) and up to 90% relative humidity. The small can series design facilitates easy integration into HVAC, heating, and burner ignition setups. While primarily utilized in oil and gas burner ignition for precise flame control, its high-reliability ferromagnetic core supports visual communications and signage applications requiring consistent high-voltage sparking, such as neon transformer testing or specialized printing processes involving plasma or arc ignition. This transformer exemplifies Allanson's commitment to dependable performance in demanding environments.
