INTRODUCTION about
INGNITION SYSTEM
An ignition system is a system for igniting a fuel-air mixture. Ignition systems are well known in the field of internal combustion engines such as those used in petrol (gasoline) engines used to power the majority of motor vehicles, but they are also used in many other applications such as in oil-fired and gas-fired boilers, rocket engines and so on.
BREAK POINT TYPE
This type of ignition system has the most basic construction. With this type, the primary current and ignition timing are mechanically controlled.
The primary current from ignition coil control the flow intermittently through the breaker points.
The governor advancer and the vacuum advancer control the ignition timing. The distributor distributes high voltage that generated by the secondary coil to the spark plugs.
HOW BREAKER POINT TYPE
WORKS
The breaker point ignition system circuit starts and ends with the battery.
When the engine is running the battery is continuously being recharged by an alternator. Current flows from the positive terminal of the battery to the ignition switch and an ignition coil.
The ignition coil is really a transformer that steps up the 12-volt current of the battery to somewhere near to 25,000 volts.
For medium or high compression in the engine this kind of voltage is necessary to cross the gap on a spark plug and make enough fire to ignite the fuel and air mixture in a cylinder.
The coil has two circuits in it ,the primary which runs from the positive coil terminal to the negative coil terminal
And the secondary circuit, which goes from the positive terminal on the coil to the ignition wire in the centre of the distributor cap.
The negative wire on the primary circuit runs from the coil to the base of the distributor and the breaker points inside.
This may sound a little confusing, but it makes sense when
