ignition voltage
1ignition voltage — The voltage at which the spark jumps across the electrodes; 30,000 volts are quite common today. Also see required ignition voltage …
2required ignition voltage — The maximum high voltage required to produce a spark under particular conditions …
3Ignition system — For other uses, see Ignition system (disambiguation). 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 …
4voltage — [1] A difference in electrical potential between one end of a circuit and the other. Also called electromotive force (EMF). Voltage causes current to flow. Measured in volts. [2] Term used to indicate the electrical potential or electromotive… …
5ignition — A process which initiates the combustion of the compressed air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. In a spark ignition engine, the mixture is ignited by an electric spark; in a diesel engine, the self igniting mixture must be preheated by… …
6Ignition timing — in an internal combustion engine is the process of setting the time that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber (during the power stroke) relative to piston position and crankshaft angular velocity. Setting the correct ignition timing is… …
7ignition system — the system in an internal combustion engine that produces the spark to ignite the mixture of fuel and air: includes the battery, ignition coil, distributor, spark plugs, and associated switches and wiring. [1900 05] * * * In a gasoline engine,… …
8Ignition coil — Bosch ignition coil. Dual ignition coils (blue cylinders, top of picture) on a …
9ignition coil — A pulse transformer which is a part of the ignition system. It receives a small amount of electrical voltage from the battery and steps up the low primary voltage and amplifies it into a big jolt of voltage of about 20,000 volts, and sends it to… …
10ignition coil — noun an induction coil that converts current from a battery into the high voltage current required by spark plugs • Hypernyms: ↑induction coil • Part Holonyms: ↑ignition, ↑ignition system * * * (in an automotive ignition system) a transformer… …
