Fig. 3i—Ignition Coil
THEORY OF
The basic ignition system (Fig. 4i) consists of the
ignition coil, condenser, ignition distributor, ignition
switch, low and high tension wiring, spark plugs, and a
source of electrical energy (battery or generator). The
ignition system has the function of producing high
voltage surges and directing them to the spark plugs in
the engine cylinders. The sparks must be timed to appear
at the plugs at the correct instant near the end of the
compression stroke with relation to piston position. The
spark ignites the fuel-air mixture under compression so
that the power stroke follows in the engine.
There are two separate circuits through the ignition
system. One of these is the primary circuit which
includes the ignition switch, primary winding of the
ignition coil, distributor contact points and condenser.
The other is the secondary or high tension circuit which
OPERATION
includes the secondary winding of the ignition coil, the
high tension lead, distributor cap, rotor and spark plugs.
The basic operation is described as follows: With the
switch closed, current flows through the primary circuit;
that is from the battery through the primary winding of
the ignition coil and closed distributor contacts to
ground, and then back to the battery. A cam mounted on
the rotating distributor shaft causes the distributor
contacts to open and close. When the contacts open, the
current decreases very rapidly in the ignition coil
primary winding, and a high voltage is induced in the
coil secondary winding.
This high voltage is impressed through the distributor
cap and rotor across one of the spark plugs. As the
voltage establishes an arc across the spark plug
