France Transformer 28290 Transformer

The France Transformer 28290 is a high-performance 5LAY-32 ignition transformer engineered for the rigorous demands of commercial and industrial heating systems. Operating with a 120V primary voltage and delivering a powerful 10,000V secondary output, this unit ensures reliable high-voltage arc generation for consistent burner ignition. The WELMC (Welded Laminated Core) design significantly enhances magnetic efficiency while reducing internal losses, providing the stable electrical overhead required for heavy-duty gas and oil-fired combustion applications. Featuring a NOBASE (no base) configuration, this transformer offers maximum installation flexibility for technicians retrofitting existing burner housings or specialized enclosures where space and specific mounting footings are critical considerations.

The 5-layer construction of the France 28290 provides superior thermal dissipation and dielectric strength, preventing premature coil failure in high-cycle environments. As a professional-grade HVAC ignition transformer, it serves as a direct replacement for various OEM components in furnaces, boilers, and industrial process heaters. By maintaining a steady 120/10000 voltage ratio, it minimizes ignition delay and reduces the risk of unburned fuel accumulation, directly contributing to equipment longevity and operational safety on the job site.

• High-Voltage Precision: Delivers a consistent 10,000V output for reliable ignition in demanding combustion environments.
• WELMC Core Technology: The Welded Laminated Core design optimizes energy transfer and reduces heat-related performance degradation.

Common Questions

Is the 120/10000 NOBASE WELMC compatible with my existing burner?
The France Transformer 28290 is designed as a universal 120V ignition source for systems requiring a 10kV output. Because it is a NOBASE model, you must verify that the terminal spacing and physical dimensions align with your specific burner's mounting requirements.

What are the benefits of the WELMC design in industrial applications?
The Welded Laminated Core (WELMC) provides a more rigid and thermally stable magnetic path compared to traditional stacked cores. This results in less mechanical vibration and better resistance to the harsh conditions often found in industrial boiler rooms.

Can this transformer be used for both gas and oil-fired systems?
Yes, the France 28290 5LAY-32 is suitable for any high-voltage ignition application—including gas-fired burners and oil ignitors—provided the primary input is 120V and the required secondary arc is approximately 10,000V.
