Dongan Electric Manufacturing Company — over 115 years of American transformer manufacturing. Founded in 1909 in Albany, New York as the Dongan Electric Instrument Company — named for Governor Thomas Dongan, the first colonial governor of the Territory of New York (1682). The company was acquired by Lyle J. Hicks, an electrical engineer, who moved it to Detroit, Michigan in 1911, renaming it Dongan Electric Manufacturing Company. Among the company's first UL approvals were doorbell transformers dated February 10, 1911 — some of the earliest Underwriters Laboratories approvals ever issued. In the 1930s Dongan achieved one of the first Underwriters Laboratories approvals for neon sign transformers. Today Dongan manufactures ignition transformers, industrial control transformers, general purpose distribution transformers, reactors, Class 2 transformers, and toroidal transformers, ranging from 50 VA to 2,000 kVA, with corporate headquarters in Fraser, Michigan (Metro Detroit). All products are tested to UL and NEMA standards.

Dongan Ignition Transformers at Memphis Control Center

Dongan ignition transformers are step-up transformers that take a standard 120V AC supply and deliver the high-voltage output (6,000V or 10,000V) needed to fire the electrode in an oil or gas burner.

Dongan Ignition Transformers — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Dongan ignition transformers and burner ignition applications. Contact us or call (901) 458-2000 — Memphis Control Center has served the combustion industry since 1967.

What does an ignition transformer do in a burner?

An ignition transformer steps up a standard 120V AC supply to a much higher secondary voltage — 6,000V or 10,000V — to create the spark needed to ignite the fuel-air mixture in an oil or gas fired burner. The high-voltage output connects via ignition cable to the burner electrode, where the voltage jumps across the electrode gap to produce the ignition spark. The transformer fires only during the ignition trial period — typically a few seconds at startup. Without a functioning ignition transformer the burner cannot establish a flame and the control goes to lockout.

What is the difference between the Dongan A06-SA6 and A06-SJ5?

Both are 120V primary, 6,000V secondary, 60 Hz ignition transformers. The difference is in the housing, terminal configuration, and mounting arrangement. The A06-SJ5 is specifically noted as fitting Cleaver Brooks commercial boilers (cross-references: 612-8A021, 612-8AO38V, 832-10). The A06-SA6 is a general-purpose 6,000V ignition transformer. Two transformers with the same electrical ratings can have different terminal layouts that make them physically non-interchangeable — always match the exact part number of the original. Call (901) 458-2000 to confirm the correct replacement.

What is the difference between a 6,000V and 10,000V ignition transformer?

The secondary voltage is set by the burner manufacturer's design. 6,000V transformers (A06-SA6, A06-SJ5) are used in burner applications designed for 6kV ignition. 10,000V transformers (A10-LA2) are used in larger industrial gas and oil burner applications requiring higher voltage — typically due to wider electrode gaps or longer cable runs. You cannot substitute a 6,000V transformer for a 10,000V application and expect reliable ignition. Always replace with the same secondary voltage as the original transformer. The burner manufacturer's spec sheet or the nameplate on your existing transformer will specify the required secondary voltage.

Is the Dongan A10-LA2 UL Listed and CSA Approved?

Yes. The Dongan A10-LA2 is UL Listed and CSA Approved — independently tested and certified to meet safety standards required by most commercial and industrial mechanical codes in the United States and Canada. The UL Listing and CSA Approval are important for code-inspected boiler and burner installations. All Dongan products are tested to UL and NEMA standards.

How do I identify which Dongan ignition transformer I need?

Read the nameplate on your existing transformer — it will show the primary voltage (typically 120V), secondary voltage (6,000V or 10,000V), VA rating, and part number. Match these exactly when ordering a replacement. If the nameplate is unreadable, check your burner's service manual for the specified transformer model. Memphis Control Center can help cross-reference your existing part number to the correct Dongan model — call (901) 458-2000 with your transformer's part number or burner make and model.
