Brahma TC and TD Electronic Ignition Transformers for Continuous Duty



Brahma logo

Brahma TC and TD S-series ignition transformers are electronic devices engineered for continuous operation (100% duty cycle). These high-performance transformers are widely used in gas and oil burners, drying equipment, pressure washers, and mobile heating systems requiring stable and prolonged ignition cycles.

The S-series combines compact size, robust design, and efficient spark generation. Available in single or dual-pole configurations with multiple mounting styles and optional EMC filters, these transformers meet the needs of both OEMs and retrofit projects.

Model coding for TC / TD S-series

Model Variants and Coding

Key models in the S-series include:

  • TC1…S / TC2…S – single or dual-pole output
  • TD1…S / TD2…S – compact housing with side or vertical terminals

For example, model TC2LVPSF is interpreted as:

  • TC2 – two-pole version
  • L – horizontal mounting
  • V – bottom output terminals
  • P – standard plug connection
  • S – electronic continuous ignition
  • F – EMC filter included

Mounting and Connections

Depending on the model, units can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Connection options include fixed-length cables, terminal plugs, or integrated sockets. Spark output is available via side, top, or bottom ceramic insulators.

EMC Filter and Installation Tips

To ensure electromagnetic compatibility and minimize interference, the use of integrated EMC filters is recommended. Additionally:

  • Keep ignition wire lengths as short as possible
  • Avoid parallel runs with low-voltage control signals
  • Use shielded cables in sensitive environments

Advantages of Brahma TC/TD S-Series

  • Reliable continuous-duty spark output
  • Lightweight, compact, and easy to integrate
  • Available with multiple mounting and wiring options
  • Supports wide range of burners and heating systems
  • Optional EMC protection for sensitive installations
