Question

Explain the difference between an ignition transformer and a solid-state igniter

Answer 1

Ignition transformer

1.      Weight of the transformer is more.

2.      Voltage output of the transformer is from 10,000 volts to 14,000 volts.

3.      Due to lower voltage output, fuel vaporization and ignition will be slow.

4.      When there is a drop in voltage supply, the transformer gets affected.

5.      Consumption of electricity is more.

 

Solid state igniter.

1.      Igniter weighs very light

2.      Igniter giver voltage output in the range of 14,000 volts to 20,000 volts

3.      Higher voltage output leads to faster vaporization of fuel and ignition

4.      Very small affect is observed when there is a voltage drop.

5.      Less electricity is consumed.
