Which transformer types are used in oil burner ignition systems?

Oil burner ignition systems typically use dedicated ignition transformers designed for high-voltage, low-current output. These are compact, encapsulated units optimized for intermittent or continuous duty. They differ from power or control transformers by prioritizing voltage step-up rather than power transfer. Modern systems may also use electronic igniters, but traditional iron-core ignition transformers remain common due to their robustness and simplicity.
