  2. Starter solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_solenoid

    The starter motor is a series, compound, or permanent magnet type electric motor with a solenoid and solenoid operated switch mounted on it. When low- current power from the starting battery is applied to the starter solenoid, usually through a key -operated switch, the solenoid closes high-current contacts for the starter motor and it starts ...

  3. Starter (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starter_(engine)

    An automobile starter motor (larger cylinder). The smaller object on top is a starter solenoid which controls power to the starter motor and engages the Bendix drive.. A starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.

  4. Magnetic starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_starter

    A magnetic starter has a contactor and an overload relay, which will open the control voltage to the starter coil if it detects an overload on a motor. [1] [2] The overload relay opens a set of contacts that are wired in series with the supply to the contactor feeding the motor. The characteristics of the heaters can be matched to the motor so ...

  5. Coffman engine starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffman_engine_starter

    Inertia starters used a heavy wheel, usually made of brass, which was spun by a hand crank or electric motor, causing the spinning wheel to engage the starter ring gear. The Coffman system was more lightweight and compact than inertial starters or internal batteries, and it did not require any special auxiliary equipment, an important feature ...

  6. Ignition switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_switch

    However, many new vehicles have been equipped with so-called "keyless" systems, which replace the key switch with a push button that also requires a transponder signal. The ignition locking system may be sometimes bypassed by disconnecting the wiring to the switch and manipulating it directly; this is known as hotwiring .

  7. Air-start system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-start_system

    An electric starter with sufficient power to turn a large diesel engine would itself be so large as to be impractical so there is a need for an alternative system. An air start system has three main components along with various safety components, namely the air start injector, the distributor and the air receivers. When the system is initiated ...

  8. Korndörfer autotransformer starter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korndörfer_Autotransformer...

    Korndorfer starter with motor (M), autotransformer (AT) and three switches (1, 2, 3) In electrical engineering, the Korndorfer starter is a technique used for reduced voltage soft starting of induction motors. The circuit uses a three-phase autotransformer and three three-phase switches. This motor starting method has been updated and improved ...

  9. BAS hybrid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BAS_hybrid

    Toyota Crown Sedan Super Deluxe Mild Hybrid. In June 2001, Toyota introduced a BAS hybrid system under the Toyota Hybrid System-Mild (THS-M) brand name. [1] It operates similarly to other mild hybrids with a start-stop system, in that it shuts down the engine as the vehicle comes to a stop and instantly restarts it when the brake pedal is released.
