What is an oil ignition transformer?

An oil ignition transformer is a specialized component used in oil heating applications, particularly in oil-fired heating systems. Its primary function is to build high voltage to create an electric spark that ignites the oil fuel, ensuring efficient combustion. This transformer is crucial for the reliability and performance of oil heating equipment, including oil heaters and burners. In the context of an oil heater transformer, it ensures that the oil is ignited correctly, facilitating optimal heating and preventing issues like incomplete combustion or equipment failure. Proper maintenance of the ignition transformer is essential to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the entire oil heating system, preventing unexpected downtimes and maintaining safe operation.
