Abstract
A fuel valve and ignitor control system in which pull-in current for a fuel valve operating on rectified alternating current is supplied through a first normally open relay whose coil is connected in series with normally open contacts of a second relay and an intermittently operating hot surface ignitor. Normally closed contacts of the second relay are connected in series with the ignitor and the fuel valve through a holding resistor, whereby actuation of the second relay provides unrectified alternating current to the ignitor and actuates the first relay to provide pull-in current to the fuel valve, and whereby deactivation of the second relay provides holding current to the fuel valve through the ignitor.
