Car electrical equipment
Electrical equipment is an integral part of a modern car. It ensures the operation of various systems and mechanisms, increasing the comfort and safety of operation.
Main elements of electrical equipment:
1. Power supply
* Rechargeable battery (AB)
* Generator
2. Electricity consumers
* Ignition system
* Engine starting system
* Lighting system
*Power windows and mirrors
* Multimedia system
* Air conditioning and heating
3. Distribution system
* Wires and wiring harnesses
* Fuse and relay blocks
* Connectors and connectors
4. Control devices
* Electronic control unit (ECU)
* Switches, switches, sensors, sensors
Electrical functions:
* Ensuring engine starting and operation
* Road and interior lighting
* Temperature and ventilation adjustment
* Protection of electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits
* Information support (instrument panel, multimedia system)
* Management and automation of various systems
Operating principles of electrical equipment:
The electrical equipment of a car operates on the principle of an electrical circuit. The power source (battery or generator) supplies voltage to electrical consumers. Through the distribution system, current passes from the source to the consumers. Control devices (sensors, sensors, computers) provide control over the operation of consumers and protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits.
Electrical equipment maintenance:
* Regularly check the condition of the battery and terminals
* Inspection and replacement of spark plugs and high-voltage wires
* Cleaning contacts and connectors
* Diagnostics and troubleshooting using special equipment
* Replacement of worn or faulty parts
Correct and timely maintenance of the vehicle’s electrical equipment ensures its reliable and uninterrupted operation, and also increases the safety of vehicle operation.
