  2. Ignition coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_coil

    An ignition coil consists of an iron core surrounded by two coils (windings) made from copper wire.The primary winding has relatively few turns of heavy wire, while the secondary winding consists of thousands of turns of smaller wire and is insulated from the high voltage by enamel on the wires and layers of oiled paper insulation.

  3. Wasted spark system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasted_spark_system

    Ignition system of a flat-twin Citroën 2CV. A wasted spark system is a type of ignition system used in some four-stroke cycle internal combustion engines.In a wasted spark system, the spark plugs fire in pairs, with one plug in a cylinder on its compression stroke and the other plug in a cylinder on its exhaust stroke.

  4. Induction coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

    Schematic diagram. An induction coil consists of two coils of insulated wire wound around a common iron core (M). [1] [7] One coil, called the primary winding (P), is made from relatively few (tens or hundreds) turns of coarse wire. [7] The other coil, the secondary winding, (S) typically consists of up to a million turns of fine wire (up to 40 ...

  5. Ignition magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_magneto

    This process is repeated continuously, creating a "shower of sparks." (Right) Booster coil components. The booster coil is separate from the magneto and can generate a series of sparks on its own. Current flow through the primary coil sets up a magnetic field about the coil that attracts the movable contact point, breaking circuit is broken.

  7. Basket winding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket_winding

    Basket windings are often wound with Litz wire, a thin, multi-strand wire with each strand individually insulated, which further reduces losses.Cotton or fabric insulation is important from a mechanical point of view during the winding process, because a common enameled magnet wire does not provide sufficient surface friction between coil layers to hold the turns at large angles.

  8. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    This system worked like all Kettering (points/coil) ignition systems: the opening points trigger the collapse of the magnetic field in the ignition coil, producing a high voltage pulse which flows through the spark plug wire to the spark plug. Some electronic ignition systems exist that are not CDI.

  9. Electrical fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_fault

    The time domain reflectometer sends a pulse down the wire and then analyzes the returning reflected pulse to identify faults within the electrical wire. In historic submarine telegraph cables , sensitive galvanometers were used to measure fault currents; by testing at both ends of a faulted cable, the fault location could be isolated to within ...
