Project - Analysis of a practical automotive wiring circuit
1) The major elements in the above automotive wiring diagram:-
1) Battery- stores electric charge and generates a constant voltage.
2) Starter- that control the use of electrical power to equipment.
3) Ignition coil- Generating thousands of volts, the ignition coil sends energy in the form of an electric spark to the spark.
4) Breaker- to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent or short circuit.
5) Junction block- it provides a convenient point for all wiring in a vehicle.
6) Generator
7) Distributor
8) Ammeter
9) Fuse
10) Gas tank
11) Foot selector switch
12) Plate light
13) current and voltage regulator
14) Fuel on/off
15) Tail stop
16) Beam lt
17) Horn button
18) Dome light switch
19) Sealed beam
20) Dome light
21) Parking lamp
2) a) Battery
urpose- to provide an electric current to electric powered starting motor which is turn starts the chemical powered internal combution engine that actually propels the vehicle.
working - to stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. the chemical reaction occuring in the cells of battery results in the flow of electricity in a circuit.
b) Generator
purpose- to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running.
working- The electric generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Electricity is generated by rotating a coil inside a magnetic field.
c) Junction block
purpose- provides a convenient point for all wiring in a vehicle.
