Patent ·
OSTI ID:6036682
This patent describes an oil burner igniter having a transformer with a primary winding and secondary winding connected to electrodes for providing an ignition spark. A feedback coil is inductively coupled to the primary coil and a transistor is connected in circuit with an input energy source and the primary coil. The improvement described here consists of the primary winding and feedback coil being continuously wound and disposed about the circumference of a ferromagnetic core, a secondary winding disposed about the circumference of the primary winding and feedback coil in inductively coupled radial relationship. The primary winding, feedback coil and secondary coil all being disposed in axially coextensive relation about the core.
