Electrical system design is the design of electrical systems. This can be as simple as a flashlight connected through two wires to a light bulb or as involved as the space shuttle. Electrical systems are groups of electrical components connected to carry out some operation. Often the systems are combined with other systems. They might be subsystems of larger systems and have subsystems of their own. For example a subway rapid electrical system is composed of the wayside electrical power supply, wayside control system, and the electrical systems of each transit car. Each transit car’s electrical system is a subsystem of the subway system. Inside of each transit car there are also subsystems, such as the car climate control system.

Alternator - an old term for an electric generator that produces alternating current (especially in automobiles)
Automobile battery, car battery - a lead-acid storage battery in a motor vehicle; usually a 12-volt battery of six cells; the heart of the car's electrical system
Equipment - an instrumentality needed for an undertaking or to perform a service
Headlamp, headlight - a powerful light with reflector; attached to the front of an automobile or locomotive
Ignition system, ignition - the mechanism that ignites the fuel in an internal-combustion engine
Automotive vehicle, motor vehicle - a self-propelled wheeled vehicle that does not run on rails
Starter, starter motor, starting motor - an electric motor for starting an engine
