What type of power supply is typically required for most low-pressure oil burners?

Most low-pressure oil burners typically require a 120-volt power supply for their operation. This is due to the need for adequate power to operate the burner components such as the ignition system, fuel pumps, and control units. The 120-volt supply is standard in many residential and commercial settings, making it convenient for the installation and functionality of these types of burners.

A 120-volt power supply provides sufficient energy for the high-torque operations that are necessary to initiate and maintain combustion while not being overly complex for typical installations. Lower voltage options, such as 12-volt or 24-volt systems, can be used in specialized applications but are less common in standard low-pressure oil burners. Higher voltage supplies, such as 240 volts, are typically reserved for larger, industrial burners that require more significant energy loads.
