Potterton's part is based near the electrodes. Usually, there are two different types of electrodes: ignition electrodes and flame-sensing electrodes. The ignition electrode is responsible for creating the spark that begins combustion within the burner The flame-sensing electrodes are responsible for checking if there is a flame present in the burner. Potterton is an important safety device that makes sure the boiler isn't still supplying gas without a flame.
