France Transformer 98162 Igniter
The France Transformer 98162 Igniter, also recognized in the field as the 5SAY-03 Solid State Gas Igniter, is a high-performance HVAC spark ignition module designed for industrial and commercial gas burner systems. Built with advanced electronics, this solid state gas igniter provides 120/240V 50/60Hz compatibility, making it a versatile OEM replacement igniter for a variety of power environments. Its compact design allows for seamless gas burner ignition in confined cabinets, while the vacuum epoxy impregnation protects internal components from moisture and thermal stress in demanding boiler or furnace applications. Techs prefer this unit for its rapid response and consistent 8.25KV (peak) output, ensuring reliable combustion cycles even during voltage fluctuations. Whether you are performing a furnace igniter replacement or upgrading an industrial process heating system, the 98162 provides the precise spark timing and durability required for safe, long-term operation.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Universal Voltage Support: Operates efficiently at both 120V and 240V, reducing the need to stock multiple SKUs for different job sites.
- Advanced Solid-State Reliability: Unlike traditional iron-core transformers, this electronic ignition transformer maintains a steady arc output during primary voltage drops.
- Enhanced Environmental Protection: The housing is epoxy-encapsulated to resist heat and humidity, preventing common failure points in HVAC ignition systems.
- Compact Footprint: Engineered for tight installations, making it an ideal replacement gas igniter for modern, space-efficient burner assemblies.
- High-Voltage Spark Performance: Delivers a consistent, hot spark at 15kVP to 16.5kVP for "sure-fire" ignition of natural gas or liquid propane (LP) systems.
Common Questions
Is the 5SAY-03 compatible with my 120V system?
Yes, the France Transformer 98162 features automatic voltage sensing and is fully compatible with 120/240V, 50/60Hz electrical systems commonly found in commercial HVAC and industrial burners.
What is the difference between this and a standard ignition transformer?
The 5SAY-03 Solid State Gas Igniter uses electronics rather than heavy iron-core windings. This makes it lighter, more efficient, and better able to provide a consistent spark even if the incoming line voltage fluctuates.
Can this be used for both interrupted and intermittent ignition?
Yes, this 98162 igniter is engineered for both constant and interrupted duty cycles in various industrial gas burner applications, including boilers, furnaces, and process heaters.
