Intermittent ignition---maintained during the entire run period of the burner.
Interrupted ignition---cuts off automatically after flame is proved or after predetermined time.
I have recommended re-wiring many oil burners to solve field problems.
Was on a job once with a contractor on an oil boiler that was burning at 7 gph. As soon as the spark turned off the boiler started bouncing on the floor. Wired for interrupted(constant) and it purred like a kitten. Okay maybe a lion, but it wasn't jumping!
