How Spark Electrodes Work:

A spark electrode probe works in conjunction with an ignitor (like a piezo ignitor or an electronic ignition module). When the ignitor generates a high-voltage electrical pulse, this pulse travels through an ignition lead to the spark electrode. The electrode is positioned very close to the gas burner. The high voltage creates a spark that jumps across the small gap between the electrode tip and the grounded metal of the burner, igniting the gas. The ceramic body insulates the electrical current, directing the spark precisely where it's needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q1: What does "2.8mm" refer to on this spark electrode probe?

A1: The 2.8mm refers to the diameter of the male circular fitting at the base of the electrode. This is the part that connects to the female receptacle on your ignition lead from the piezo ignitor or ignition module.

Q2: Is this spark electrode compatible with all gas appliances?

A2: It is a universal design for appliances that use a 2.8mm female fitting on their ignition lead. However, you should always verify the specific dimensions (overall length, probe length) and mounting method of your existing electrode to ensure a proper fit and correct positioning relative to the burner.

Q3: Does this product include the ignitor?

A3: No, this product is the spark electrode probe only. It is designed to work in conjunction with a separate piezo ignitor or electronic ignition module, which generates the high-voltage pulse.

Q4: Can this be used for both Natural Gas and LPG appliances?

A4: Yes, spark electrodes are universal in terms of gas type as they simply produce a spark. Their function is independent of whether the appliance uses Natural Gas or LPG.

Q5: What is the ceramic part for?

A5: The ceramic part acts as an electrical insulator. It prevents the high-voltage current from short-circuiting before it reaches the tip, ensuring the spark occurs precisely at the desired point near the gas burner for efficient ignition.
