Brahma series RS, RC, AC, SALV, ALV Ignition and Flame Detection Electrodes – Versatile Components for Burners

The Brahma range of electrodes — including RS, RC, AC, SALV, and ALV series — is designed for use in ignition and flame detection circuits in gas and oil burners. These components ensure stable ignition and reliable flame monitoring in both residential and industrial applications. With a variety of shapes, materials, and connection types, Brahma electrodes are a flexible solution for modern combustion systems.

All models are factory-tested for high-voltage tolerance and thermal resistance. The ceramic insulation ensures high dielectric strength and long-term durability under demanding conditions. Explore the full range of Brahma electrodes to find the right option for your burner setup.

Function and Purpose

Brahma electrodes serve two main roles: initiating spark ignition and monitoring flame presence via ionization current. RS and RC models can be used for either function depending on the burner’s configuration. SALV and ALV models are reinforced types designed for heavy-duty industrial environments, offering added mechanical protection and higher temperature resistance.

Construction and Materials

All Brahma electrodes feature high-quality aluminous ceramic insulation rated for up to 1200 °C. Conductive components are made from stainless steel with optional nickel or chrome plating. Each electrode typically includes:

• Insulating ceramic body (straight or angled)
• Metallic rod (the actual electrode)
• Electrical connection: plug, cable, or terminal
• Mounting accessories like nuts or brackets

Model Overview

RS series – Straight electrodes with male plug terminals, ideal for basic systems.
RC series – Female terminal version of RS, compatible with standard high-voltage transformers.
AC series – Pre-wired models with integrated cables for quick installation.
SALV and ALV series – Ruggedized electrodes with screw connections and metal shielding, suited for harsh environments and industrial burners.

Mounting and Compatibility

Brahma electrodes can be installed using a variety of brackets and fittings. Common mounting methods include M10 threaded bushings, flange plates, and high-temperature gaskets. Depending on the system design, electrodes may be inserted through burner heads or side walls and adjusted to the correct spark gap and position.

Part Numbering and Selection

Each Brahma electrode is identified by a part number that encodes its key specifications: ceramic length, metal rod length, connector type, and overall geometry. For example, RS 100/65 P refers to a straight RS model with 100 mm ceramic and 65 mm electrode, and a plug-type connector (P).

To select the right model, it’s important to know the burner’s ignition voltage, mounting geometry, flame signal sensitivity, and connection method. The manufacturer provides clear tables and diagrams to support correct matching.
