Project - Analysis of a practical automotive wiring circuit
1-Identify each of the major elements in the above automotive wiring diagram.
Starter,
Battery,
Distributer,
Ammeter,
Generator,
Junction box,
Breaker,
Fuse,
Foot selector switch
2.Explain the purpose and working of any three elements briefly.
Battery
purpose-Batteries are small essential components to operate many devices. It is one of the key components in our day-to-day life. Some batteries are rechargeable batteries and are used in each and every sector. Below are some of the applications of batteries.
Generator
machine that converts one form of energy into another, especially mechanical energy into electrical energy, as a dynamo, or electrical energy into sound, as an acoustic generator. a person or thing that generates. Chemistry. an apparatus for producing a gas or vapor.
Breaker,
A circuit breaker is an electrical safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow to protect equipment and to prevent the risk of fire
3.If the total load is 10A from battery, what should be the fuse rating?
we can use 13A fuse
4.If 500W is the load, what is the voltage and capacity of battery you recommend?
Capacity=load*time ,load given=500watt ,Time =24hours ,average of voltage= 12v
capacity=500*24=12000wh
Amp-hours = Watt-hours / Volts
=12000/12=1000AH
5.Identify any two elements which are connected parallel to each other. Why they are connected in parallel?
Asper the above image Generator with current voltage and regulaterare connected in parallelif two are more components are connected in parallelthe have the same differential of potential voltage across their ends.
6.Identify any two elements which are connected in series. Why they are connected in series?
The above image battery and starter are in series to each other because same current flows throw them.
