Project - Analysis of a practical automotive wiring circuit

1. Identify each of the major elements in the above automotive wiring diagram?

major components:

Battery, Startcr, Breaker, Generator, Regulator, Foot selector switch, Ammeter,Distributor, Junction block, Scaled light beam, Dome light switch,Gas tank unit.

2. Explain the purpose and working of any three elements briefly?

Battery

The purpose of battery is to store electrical enenrgy in DC and it deliver that energy when the user need to apply for several applications.

The working of the battery is there number cells connected in parallel and series. The cells get charged once with its full capacity it will deliver the energy where it required. Even though it is not charged compltely it will deliver or transfer the energy depending the state of charge in battery.Finally the battery is a energy storing device.The work is to get charge from the out source and deliver that battery charge to various applications.

Generator

The purpose of a Generator is to Generate the electrical current from source. There are so many sources like thermal, ice engines etc.

Working of a generator is when the turbine rotates from an any external source, the ratating turbine the is connected to the shaft of the conductor. The generator is conevrting mechanical energy into useful electrical energy. The working principle of the generator is based on electromagnetic induction.

Fuse

The purpose of a fuse is to protect the circuit without causes of any high currents passed in the circuit.

Working of fuse is to cut off the electrical circuit by breaking the line. when there is an high electrical current is pass through an Electrical circuit the wire in fuse will get melt then circuit brake happend. it is protecting entire circuit from the hazards.

3. If the total load is 10A from battery, what should be the fuse rating?

taking the fuse rating as 11A. The total load is 10A from battery if there is a high amount current is employed then the fuse will save the entire circuit.

4. If 500W is the load, what is the voltage and capacity of battery you recommend?

I recommand 100Ah of capacity and 24v of voltage is good for 500w of load.

5. Identify any two elements which are connected parallel to each other. Why they are connected in parallel?

The loads elements that are Beam Light, Horn, Scaled Beam are connected in parallel. The load for that elements are same so they are connected in parallel.

6. Identify any two elements which are connected in series. Why they are connected in series?

The elements are instrumental lights, foot selector switch are connected in series. The connection of that elements have current so they are connected in series.

The generator battery connection to ammeter and Battery is connected in series. Those elements are connected in series so that the current which occured from the generator will be measured in ammeter.

The foot selector switch and scaled beam are connected in series.
