France Transformer 28217 Transformer
The France Transformer 28217, also identified by model 5LAY-05, is a heavy-duty oil burner ignition transformer engineered specifically for residential and commercial heating applications. This Beckett-compatible transformer features a 120V primary input and generates a reliable 10,000V secondary output at 23mA, ensuring a consistent spark for efficient fuel combustion. Built with a robust iron core and precision windings, it serves as a direct HVAC replacement part for high-voltage ignition systems where thermal stability and moisture resistance are critical. The unit is designed for a mid-point grounded secondary to minimize electrical interference and provide stable arc performance under varying flue conditions. Its mounting configuration is optimized for seamless integration into Beckett burner housings, facilitating a fast swap-out during service calls. This 10kV ignition unit is essential for technicians maintaining precise ignition timing and reducing soot buildup caused by weak or intermittent sparking in high-static pressure burners.
- Universal Beckett Compatibility: Drop-in replacement for the 5LAY-05 series to ensure minimal downtime during field repairs.
- High-Voltage Stability: Consistent 10,000V output provides a strong arc even in cold-start scenarios with high viscosity fuel.
- Industrial Build Quality: High-grade potting compound protects internal components from vibration and environmental moisture.
- Efficient Power Conversion: 120V input optimized for standard residential heating circuits with low amperage draw.
Common Questions
Will this transformer fit all Beckett oil burners?
This unit is designed specifically for the Beckett "A", "AF", and "AFG" series burners that utilize the 5LAY mounting pattern. Always verify the physical dimensions and hinge pin locations on the existing housing before installation.
What causes a transformer like the 28217 to fail prematurely?
Failure is often caused by excessive electrode gaps placing undue stress on the secondary windings or high ambient temperatures within the burner vestibule. Ensure the spark gap is set to the burner manufacturer’s specifications during service.
Can this be used with 240V primary systems?
No, the 28217 is rated strictly for a 120V input. Connecting this to a 240V circuit will cause immediate failure and potential damage to the primary controller.
