Hi, I have some questions about the spark generator / igniter on a Potterton Performa 28, the part is 248097.
It has 3 base terminal pins and a single spark output to the electrode. One of the 3 base terminal pins is a ground the other 2 terminals are marked 1 & 2. It's labelled as 230v AC.
What voltage and procedure is required to induce the spark. What are the component parts to these devices?
I can only guess is it's capacitor, triac and step-up coil but I'd just be guessing.
My goal is to understand how it works and how to test one of these devices.
Kind Regards
Jules
