The transformer converts 120V line voltage to 24V AC, powering the low-voltage control circuit that drives the thermostat, gas valve, control board, and all safety switching. When this transformer fails, the entire control circuit goes dead — you'll see a blank thermostat, no system response to a call for heat, or a furnace that won't attempt ignition at all. A shorted transformer may also blow the 3A control fuse repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Input: 120V AC | Output: 24V AC | Capacity: 40VA | Foot-mount configuration | Wire-lead connections | Factory tolerance-matched for Carrier furnace control boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM vs Generic:\u003c\/strong\u003e OEM transformers maintain precise 24V output under full VA load, protecting downstream components like the control board and gas valve.
