Ignition coil
Gasoline engines require an ignition spark to start
Ignition coil
the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This spark is generated at the spark
plug. The ignition coil transforms energy from the
vehicle electric system into the required high voltage
and provides it to the spark plug.
Task
The air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is
ignited by means of an ignition spark. The spark plug
requires an ignition voltage of up to 30,000 Volts to
generate the spark. The ignition coil generates this
voltage from the 12 V vehicle electrical system and
delivers it to the spark plug at the time of ignition.
